    Moodle is an open-source Learning Management System (LMS) that provides educators with the tools and features to create and manage online courses. It allows educators to organize course materials, create quizzes and assignments, host discussion forums, and track student progress. Moodle is highly flexible and can be customized to meet the specific needs of different institutions and learning environments.

    Moodle supports both synchronous and asynchronous learning environments, enabling educators to host live webinars, video conferences, and chat sessions, as well as providing a variety of tools that support self-paced learning, including videos, interactive quizzes, and discussion forums. The platform also integrates with other tools and systems, such as Google Apps and plagiarism detection software, to provide a seamless learning experience.

    Moodle is widely used in educational institutions, including universities, K-12 schools, and corporate training programs. It is well-suited to online and blended learning environments and distance education programs. Additionally, Moodle's accessibility features make it a popular choice for learners with disabilities, ensuring that courses are inclusive and accessible to all learners.

    The Moodle community is an active group of users, developers, and educators who contribute to the platform's development and improvement. The community provides support, resources, and documentation for users, as well as a forum for sharing ideas and best practices. Moodle releases regular updates and improvements, ensuring that the platform remains up-to-date with the latest technologies and best practices.

EXECUTE BUILDING SUBSTRUCTURE WORKS

This Unit describes the competencies required to execute substructure works. It involves
excavating, leveling and concreting foundation trenches, constructing foundation wall and
solid ground floor.

CONCRETE TECHNOLOGY

Concrete Technology is a core unit in the field of building and civil engineering that equips learners with theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the design, production, placement, and testing of concrete. This course introduces trainees to the properties of concrete ingredients (cement, aggregates, water, and admixtures), the methods of mixing and curing, and the techniques for quality control.

Learners will gain an in-depth understanding of the behaviour of concrete in both its fresh and hardened states. The course also covers different types of concrete, concrete mix design principles, site practices, and troubleshooting common problems such as segregation, bleeding, and cracking. Environmental and safety considerations in concrete work are also emphasized to promote sustainability and health on the job site.

By the end of the course, trainees will be able to interpret mix design specifications, prepare and test concrete samples, and apply best practices in handling, placing, and curing concrete in construction works, as per national and international standards.

Key Competency Areas:

  • Identify and classify concrete ingredients

  • Prepare and design concrete mixes

  • Batch, mix, transport, and place concrete

  • Apply concrete compaction and curing techniques

  • Perform tests on fresh and hardened concrete

  • Interpret mix design data and quality control records

  • Identify and address concrete defects and failures

  • Adhere to site safety, environmental, and quality standards
