    Introduction: In keeping with the goals of the WMO Global Campus, multiple organizations saw mutual needs and came together to create the CALMet Moodle Course. The course teaches about a broad range of Moodle capabilities in the context of the WMO trainer competencies. The self-directed format allows participants to decide how much time to dedicate to the course and when to study. Once enrolled, they can engage at the level they like and make the course fit their schedules. Participants may follow the units in a sequence or pick and choose what to learn when they need it.  However, each of the units has self-assessment items — quizzes. Whoever achieves sufficient scores on all the quizzes in a unit is awarded a badge.

    The course is being developed by WMO, EUMETCAL, VLab, EUMETSAT, EUMeTrain, IMGW-PIB, and MeteoFrance. The first phase of the course saw completion of three units, and was delivered to the group of pilot participants in the WMO's Moodle Platform from 15 January to 29 February 2016, where there were 56 participants from 36 countries all around the world. The full course of five units is planned to be completed in 2017.
