Moodling along

A shift has happened and I now can see how to create a basic course in Moodle and am ready for the 'interesting' bits.  Di Dawson has started to populate our Moodle training course with some helpful tips and an online photo resizer which is simply brilliant  http://resize.it/ .  It sorted out several of my current design difficulties on the front page and I am very grateful.

One of the e-Learning advisors said he discovered a way to zip/export/archive Bb courses and upload them to Moodle but I haven't yet been successful doing this - keep getting an error message.  Luckily I'll see him on Wednesday and he can talk me through it.  It's not that I don't want to re-do the course, it's just that I don't want to upload all those files again.  It's boring and tedious and frankly, there isn't much on TV as background noise.  I think I'm up to date on all the NCIS programmes available on all Freeview channels.

eILP update:  attendance data is flowing nicely, we're hoping the student photos will go in next and it looks as if a significant number of courses are using the e-ILP in spite of the shakey start with getting the data embedded.  I have a number of very keen staff who are looking forward to the Moodle training, some of whom have used it before.  Nothing like knowing who the innovators and early adopters are.

Happy holiday, everyone!  It isn't far away.
