Start Your Own Online Course Instruction Web Site!

Contemporary Instructional Concepts will show you how to set-up your own Learning Management System (LMS) that rivals the biggest systems available to schools around the world!  This LMS will allow you to set-up your own online courses to prepare your children for college or to let them work cooperatively with other home schoolers in a set curriculum.  Jim Musgrave, an online educator at colleges for over 10 years, and a teacher for over 15 years, can also suggest online exercises and games you can implement at little or no extra cost.  In addition, you can “plug-in” Jim’s own 16-week course that’s used to teach college students basic composition skills and critical thinking skills. 

Step-by-Step Instructions

Jim’s e-book, How to Create a Superb Learning Management System on a Shoestring Budget will show you where you can download and install (in minutes) the complete infrastructure you’ll need to start your own home schooling program.  Or, write to Jim, and he’ll show you how to establish the system on a qualified Internet Service Provider (ISP)*.  In fact, if you have no technical knowledge, Jim will also set the LMS up for you and simply turn over the “driving keys” to you when he’s finished!

 

*Your ISP must have at least 5,000 MB of space and allow you to set-up an SQL database.

Here’s What You Can Plug-in to Your New LMS

Once you’ve downloaded and installed your new Moodle LMS on the server (or have Jim do it for you), you’re ready to become an “Administrator” and set-up the curriculum for your students.  Contemporary Instructional Concepts can also (at a small additional cost) provide a “faculty course template” that will list all the “curriculum elements” you will need to create a course.  You simply take the educational material (textbook, film or online links) and add them into the LMS for your students to access.  The Moodle LMS is based on a “Social Constructionist Pedagogy,” which is a sound system that relies on the student to learn at his/her own pace and “discover” through your interactive exercises.  Jim has developed tested educational “modules” that can be added to your LMS so you can create an excellent educational tool for your student(s).  Here are some of the offerings you can also buy to add to your Moodle LMS:

·        The Grammar and Research Hospital interactive course (the winner of several academic awards at the college level) is also included in both of your courses at no extra charge.  You simply install the 16-week course module and the online course will do the rest!

·        The Judge Jimmy Game online courtroom simulation.  This award-winning game will allow your students to play as lawyers and witnesses in court to try defendants and see how well they can argue in pressure situations.  Role-playing and real-life, courtroom drama can be staged in your household, online in your Moodle LMS, or in the home school neighborhood!

·        Send your students to Jim Musgrave’s Online Writing Center Academy of Success.  If you don’t want to set-up your own course, then enroll the student in an 8-week or 16-week “college level” writing course and have a college instructor grade the student’s papers!  See if they have “the right stuff” to succeed at college.
