The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) is Ireland’s largest sporting organisation. It is celebrated as one of the great amateur sporting associations in the world. The Association today promotes Gaelic games such as Hurling, Football, Handball and Rounders and works with sister organisations to promote Ladies Football and Camogie.
The GAA Learning & Development Portal provides access to online learning resources for anyone involved in Gaelic Games including coaching, playing, refereeing or providing administrative support at Club or County level.
The GAA is committed to nurturing a culture of lifelong learning among its members, enabling personal growth and the continuous development of skills.
The GAA is revolutionising its learning initiatives by harnessing the extended capabilities of Moodle’s integration capabilities, including a powerful Content Management System (CMS), within its Learning Portal. By seamlessly integrating Moodle LMS with a feature-rich CMS and various complementary tools, the GAA has created a comprehensive and immersive platform that enhances the learning experience for its members. This abstract explores the integration of Moodle and a CMS within the GAA’s Learning Portal and its impact on lifelong learning.
Moodle forms the foundation of the GAA’s Learning Portal, delivering essential features for content delivery, assessments, and collaboration. However, Moodle’s true power lies in its ability to integrate seamlessly with various plugins, extending its functionality and enabling a more holistic learning experience. By integrating a robust CMS, the GAA can enhance content creation, management, and customisation within the Learning Portal.
This integration empowers GAA members to embark on a journey of continuous learning and personal growth.
As the GAA continues to expand the Learning Portal, the integration of Moodle and a CMS will undoubtedly play a vital role in advancing educational initiatives, strengthening the lifelong learning culture within the organisation, and empowering GAA members to thrive in their personal and sporting endeavours.
