Learning Moodle

Moodle is an open source course management system. Humboldt has chosen it as their preferred platform and is encouraging all faculty to put their courses into it. Since I had experience with Angel at Michigan State, learning to use Moodle does not seem hard.

What was especially interesting was to watch how the faculty (those who came to the training anyway) reacted as students learning what was for some a complex online system. No one actually asked any public questions, and no one seemed to expect any. But it was a hands-on presentation and the young man from the computer center who did most of the teaching went around from person to person to give individual help.

The training was scheduled for an hour and a half and ended promptly.
