Regina Platform

The REGINA Platform has been introduced as an online interactive platform to accommodate the extensive learning resources that have been created in the frame of the project. The REGINA Platform has been designed in a way to suit the learning needs of three tiers of education, namely:

  • University/Higher education
  • Secondary education
  • Adult education (especially famers and advisors)

REGINA Platform was designed at the Moodle LMS (Learning Management System), which is a popular, free, open-source, easy-to-develop learning support tool that is used worldwide. In addition to universities, many conferences, other educational institutions, secondary schools, and business enterprises are also interested in using MLMS. Moodle is well-suited for both face-to-face and distance learning, and MOOCs in MLMS (paid, certificate courses) are becoming increasingly common in Higher Education. The 24/7 availability of these courses offers maximum flexibility for learning and is well suited for adults, working learners, and also suited for full-time and distance learners in Higher Education.

The REGINA Platform accommodates learning resources for Regenerative Agriculture courses. The platform is a digital learning environment that is both suitable for regular education, as well as for self-learners. The site will guide teachers and educators by suggesting ways to use the learning materials, while at the same time, self-learners are free to select any topics or materials that they would like to get to know better. The content of the REGINA Platform is structured in a simple and clear way, containing ‘modules’ (referring to a bigger group of topics) and ‘topics’ (for a single learning topic). Most of the modules contain lessons, short videos, and tools for self-evaluation, as well as guidance for teachers and educators (lesson plans, case studies or different reports).

The user manual of the REGINA Platform helps learners and educators in two ways:

  • Part 1: How to get access to the REGINA Platform and course materials?
  • Part 2: How to use the materials available in the REGINA Platform, and how to navigate in the Moodle system?

This manual primarily addresses technical questions and issues, nevertheless, you can find more information on the REGINA courses in the Learning Methodology document, where you will find the extensive description of the REGINA modules, topics as well as education methods and adaptation possibilities. Furthermore, the courses have been piloted (in all tiers of education), and we are also glad to share our experiences. Finally, a Guidebook on Regenerative Agriculture Learning has been developed, an open publication for anyone, who is interested in learning about the topic.

Once the registration process and enrolment to the course has been done, it is very easy to come back to the REGINA platform. You just need to click on the link below, add your username and password, log in and you will see the learning materials right away.
