‘Moodle is a little confusing’, ‘Moodle is hard to navigate’, ‘Moodle is just frustrating to use’. This is recent student feedback from the Higher Certificate in Custodial Care (HCCC) and reflects staff sentiments at times too!  

The HCCC is a two-year entry level programme for all Irish Recruit Prison Officers. Students are mature learners and non-traditional entrants to higher education with varied digital skills.

This project will see staff and students work together to design a HCCC programme template for Moodle that makes it easier for staff to use as an enabling teaching tool, and students to use as an empowering learning tool.
