    Introduction: As part of a programme of work with the South African Weather Service Regional Training Centre and in collaboration with EUMETSAT, the Met Office College have worked with Catalyst IT Ltd to build on the work of KNMI, EUMETSAT and others to produce a new plug-in for Moodle which allows trainers to build case-study simulations as Moodle learning activities.

    The plug-in enables trainers to create simulation case studies directly onto their Moodle course, using the Moodle interface to set the variables, build the menu, create the content and upload data. Using a Moodle learning activity has the advantage of speeding up the build process and allows the trainer to present the simulation in the context of other learning resources and activities on a Moodle course page. Once a simulation has been built it can be backed up and restored like any other Moodle activity and also has an option to download an offline version for use in situations with limited connectivity.

    What you can expect from this session

    This session will introduce participants to the plug-in and show how to use it.

    Activities include a webinar session and a discussion forum. The webinar session will took place at 09:00 UTC on Thursday the 13th of October and will be supported by a recording of the session and documentation about the plugin. The session focuses on the 'how' rather than the 'why' and there is time after the session for questions and discussions about the plug-in conduct in Meteorology Simulation Forum and how it can best be used to support training in the community.
