1. Introduction
In today's world of learning and education, you have more choices than students have ever had in the past. Many students are now opting to take courses online.  This can open up course options to students that may not be available in their own school and allow some flexibility in terms of when students complete their course work and the pace that they work at. Many students in college and university also take some of their courses online. So, now is a great time to dip your toe into the world of online learning and to learn what it is all about.
Rocky View has an online school called RVS Online which offers a wide variety of courses to students within the division. In this unit, you will be learning all about the tools that you will need to know how to use to successfully navigate through and complete a course in a learning management system called Moodle.
