Description

This presentation showcases an initial collaboration between Moodle researchers and the Japan-based NPO Seibo Japan to design an on-demand Moodle course supporting the organization’s educational outreach on Malawi and sustainability. Seibo works with people throughout Japan to raise awareness and funds for school meal programs through various charitable activities; however, the lack of an on-demand course has been a limiting factor.

Researchers, a Seibo coordinator, and Seibo interns co-developed a Moodle-based course that introduces sustainability issues, explains NPO operations, and guides learners through outreach activities. The presentation will describe the instructional design process, Moodle feature selection, intern training, and capacity-building for Seibo staff.

The session will highlight lessons learned and future goals, and aims to offer a practical example of how Moodle researchers and NPOs can collaborate to create impactful, on-demand courses. This case demonstrates Moodle’s potential for social outreach beyond traditional academic contexts.
