At Jefferson Lab, Moodle, an Open-Source Course Management System has been used to produce a comprehensive web-based training program for accelerator operators and crew chiefs. The system is simple to use, self-paced, completely trackable, and able to tie into the lab's overall training infrastructure. Moodle serves as the on-line engine that ties together a variety of new and existing materials, including multimedia, and makes the training system manageable without large manpower requirements. This poster session shows how experienced crew chiefs, operators, and system experts create the courses, what the students see as they learn, and how the training each student has received is quantified and tracked.
