Abstract In the current Information Age, technology is taking the lead in moving
teaching and learning beyond that which was once viewed as typically didactic
approach to knowledge acquisition. The outcome of this research paper have explored
the importance of MOODLE learning platform and its contribution in promoting
flexible teaching, and the need for supported action (through bespoke CPD) to assist
teachers / tutors develop differentiated learning resources that has a dual purpose of
improving flexibility in learning and assessment outcomes for students. There is also
the need to foster collaborative working partnership between curriculum areas through
management intervention in appointing dedicated ILT Champions to increase teacher
confidence in developing interactive teaching and learning resources. In order to make
MOODLE learning platform an effective medium for the enhancement of teaching and
learning, it is recommended that management incorporate into the college strategic
plan(s), a focused induction at the beginning of the academic year for students to
familiarise themselves with relevant features of learning / interactive tools available on
the platform.
