    Moodle is an open-source Learning Management System (LMS) that provides educators with the tools and features to create and manage online courses. It allows educators to organize course materials, create quizzes and assignments, host discussion forums, and track student progress. Moodle is highly flexible and can be customized to meet the specific needs of different institutions and learning environments.

    Moodle supports both synchronous and asynchronous learning environments, enabling educators to host live webinars, video conferences, and chat sessions, as well as providing a variety of tools that support self-paced learning, including videos, interactive quizzes, and discussion forums. The platform also integrates with other tools and systems, such as Google Apps and plagiarism detection software, to provide a seamless learning experience.

    Moodle is widely used in educational institutions, including universities, K-12 schools, and corporate training programs. It is well-suited to online and blended learning environments and distance education programs. Additionally, Moodle's accessibility features make it a popular choice for learners with disabilities, ensuring that courses are inclusive and accessible to all learners.

    The Moodle community is an active group of users, developers, and educators who contribute to the platform's development and improvement. The community provides support, resources, and documentation for users, as well as a forum for sharing ideas and best practices. Moodle releases regular updates and improvements, ensuring that the platform remains up-to-date with the latest technologies and best practices.

Available courses

Material Science

This course provides an introduction to the fundamental principles that govern the structure, properties, processing, and performance of materials. The intrinsic relationships between a material's atomic structure and its macroscopic properties (mechanical, electrical, thermal, and chemical) are explored. Key material classes are investigated, including metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. The course also covers phase diagrams, phase transformations, and material degradation mechanisms. By understanding these principles, students will be equipped to select the right material for a given engineering application and predict material behavior in service.

GEOPYSICS

Essentially, as the word suggests, geophysics is the application of method of physics to the study of the Earth. The rocks does not differ only by their macroscopic or microscopic properties studied
field geologists or petrologists. They also differ by their chemical and physical properties. Hence as the rocks differ according to their origin, structure, texture, etc. they also differ by their density, magnetization, resistivity, etc. The bad news is that the physical properties do not always clearly correlates with geological classifications and do not necessarily easily translates into the geological terms. 

Material Science

Materials Science is an interdisciplinary subject, spanning the physics and chemistry of matter, engineering applications and industrial manufacturing processes.

Modern society is heavily dependent on advanced materials, for example:

  • lightweight composites for more efficient vehicles
  • optical fibres for telecommunications
  • and silicon microchips for the continuing revolution in digital technology.

Materials scientists study the relationships between the structure and properties of a material and how it is made. They also develop new materials and devise advanced processes for manufacturing them. Materials Science is vital for developments in nanotechnology, quantum computing, energy storage and nuclear energy, as well as medical technologies such as bone replacement materials and drug delivery.
