Moodle with a blog would be a great way to learn. Thanks for the ideas.

I think you need to update the bio if you are not teaching at Macarthur since 2008.

Regards,

Jon

I had a look at your article and some great instruction there. I am glad you found my videos useful. You may want to check out the video series from Atomic Learning also, they are very good:

I had just written a “How to Embed Content with Moodle” article on my blog. But now I also have a video of how to do it as well as a few other ways to embed content. Fantastic 🙂

I normally embed via the resources pages: http://www.smsn.vic.edu.au/ictguy/index.php/2007/10/16/embedding-web-20-content-with-moodle/

cheers

Thanks for your comments.

Moodle does rock my sox but i find it even easier than you suggest Frank seen as Moodle is now one of many web solutions that installs with one click through fantastico on many web hosts. A $10 a mth account will get most teachers/schools started before they get hit by big numbers and have to migrate to a larger hosting plan. I still host mine this way through a cheap monthly shared hosting plan – works a treat!

I also like where Moodle is reportedly headed – eportfolios and outcomes are two areas I am greatly looking forward to. Not to mention conditional activities!!

Moodle couldn’t rock harder. If F/OSS doesn’t rule the world yet, it will.

To that end, I’d love to see any district interested in a roll-your-own solution such as setting up Moodle instead of sending the district treasury to Blackboard, to host it on a GNU/Linux computer.

ANY OLD computer can be set up with Ubuntu (ubuntu.com) or PCLinuxOS (pclinuxos.org) and you’ll have entered a new realm. Be prepared to support your jaw and to reinsert your eyeballs.

If all you’ve experienced is Macintosh or Windows computers, opening Synaptic, searching for Moodle returns Moodle itself, Moodle Book, and Moodle Edu theme, clicking one off and pressing Install, ought to fairly blow your socks off.

Still not convinced? Try any of the thousands and thousands of other applications that are all Free (as in freedom as well as free of cost).

Kids, this is only for a Linux user, please don’t try this at home…

Frank

Thanks you for taking the time to create your presentation. I have been exploring different uses of Moodle with my math classes, and your idea of embedding tools made on other web 2.0 websites makes a lot of sense.

Thanks for the great comments. They are very encouraging words.

As for the version, my current site is running 1.6 but am soon to upgrade now that I feel 1.8 is stable and maybe even go to 1.9, depends on what I read on the forums at http://moodle.org.
