Moodle Educator Qualification (MEQ) The international certification for digital teaching competence
The Moodle Educator Qualification (MEQ) certification program was developed by a community of Moodle experts together with Moodle HQ and is delivered by certified trainers. The program supports teachers in developing and delivering digital education (online and blended learning) using Moodle.
Overview
Become a qualified Moodle Educator in 6 modules
The Moodle Educator Qualification consists of a total of 6 modules. It is based on a European competence model - DigCompEdu (European Framework for the Digital Competence of Educators) - which describes the digital competences of teachers and provides a structured overview of the skills required to use digital technologies effectively in education and teaching. The aim is to support teachers in integrating digital technologies into their teaching and thus improve the quality of education.
Module 1: Professional commitment
This module is about reflecting on your own role and responsibility as a teacher and deepening basic standards for successful learning and teaching. You will learn how to positively manage communication within your learner community
Module 2: Digital resources
In this module you will learn how to effectively select, create, manage and share digital resources. This also involves evaluating and selecting suitable open content that can be found via Moodle.net, for example. Legal aspects such as compliance with data protection and copyright regulations will also be addressed.
Module 3: Teaching and learning
This module supports you in planning and further developing the didactically meaningful use of Moodle. A central focus is on interaction with and between learners, collaborative learning and joint knowledge development. You will learn to support your learners in actively managing their own learning processes and reflecting on their progress.
Module 4: Learner orientation
You will learn to create inclusive and responsive courses that are accessible to all learners. It's also about personalized and adaptive learning paths that take individual needs into account and promote the independence, creativity and motivation of learners and actively support their success.
Module 5: Evaluation
In this module, you will learn how to use summative and formative evaluation approaches that are tailored to the needs of your learners. You will learn how to analyze the learning progress of your learners and provide targeted support. Another focus is on providing feedback in different formats in order to optimally support learners and plan their further development.
Promoting the digital skills of learners
They learn to promote learners' information and media skills. This includes helping them to find and critically evaluate online materials, promote digital communication and collaboration and use the internet safely and responsibly.
The Moodle Educator qualification is based on the Digital Competence Framework for Educators(DigCompEdu).
DigCompEdu is a European competence framework that describes the digital skills trainers and teachers need to design learning processes in a contemporary way. It comprises six areas of competence - from professional digital communication and didactic design to the assessment of digital learning processes and the promotion of learners' digital skills. The aim is to support teachers in using digital technologies in a reflective, creative and learning-effective way, thus enabling sustainable education.

FAQ
How are MEQ assignments assessed?
The written tasks (practical tasks) are assessed using an assessment rubric based on the DigCompEdu grid and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR): A1 (Beginner), A2 (Explorer), B1 (User), B2 (Expert), C1 (Leader), C2 (Pioneer).
What is the difference between MEC and MEQ?
The Moodle Educator Certification (MEC) has been renamed to Moodle Educator Qualification (MEQ) to create a more comprehensible qualification system. This change is intended to avoid confusion, particularly in distinguishing between individual qualifications (for people) and the services offered by Moodle Certified Partners. The name will change, but the value, structure and content of the program will remain the same.
I already have the MEC certificate. Do I need a new certificate?
No, the MEC certificate is the same as the MEQ certificate, so you can continue to use the MEC certificate. However, if you would like to request an MEQ certificate, you can contact us at qualifications@moodle.com.
Can I sell Moodle as an MEQ holder?
While you are free to use MEQ to further your career, you do not have the right to use the Moodle branding as this constitutes trademark infringement.
