Moodle Course Migration Plan

by John Fleischauer -

At this time, all courses have been migrated to the Conference's new eLearning platform and this site is closed to new registrations. Click here to visit the new platform and take a course today!

The North Alabama Conference recently announced plans to migrate to a new online learning platform. This migration will take place over the coming months, with plans to close down the Moodle-based platform at training.umcna.org in early 2025. 

As part of this transition, not all courses will be migrated to the new platform. The list of all courses and their migration status is listed below and will be updated as the migration takes place. Once a course has been migrated, the title in the list below can be clicked to access the new course.

  • If you are enrolled in a course that is not scheduled for migration, you are encouraged to download or otherwise retain any content you wish to retain access to by no later than December 31, 2024. While some content will be made available through other channels, it is not guaranteed that any particular content will remain available following this migration. Courses not scheduled for migration will remain open to new users until December 31, 2024, and will remain accessible to existing users until at leas February 1, 2025.
  • If you are enrolled in a course that is scheduled for migration, you will receive additional information as that migration takes place.

For additional information, please contact Rev. John Fleischauer at john.fleischauer@umcna.org.

This training is intended for churches who have either adopted the model policy or have a policy very similar to it. Churches with more advanced needs or with substantially different policies should contact their district office to be connected with a Safe Sanctuaries trainer for further guidance.
