After finding other stuff to do, its time to crack on with the moodle server. I have imported a course across from the test server. I am now trying to get my head around how to administrate the users, to create groups for students and teachers. And then within them groups creating class groups. As courses can contain more than one class.
I dont know if I can transfer my thinking of Fronter across to Moodle using this kind of set up.
Or if theres a better way to do this in Moodle

Blogging taking off
Blogging has taken off, have a few people interested in using these. From using them with students as refelctive learning journals, or to just keep there team of staff upto date with the latest goings on.
Hopefully further down the line this can be intigrated with Moodle.

CPD sessions and Twitter
After the bast few days doing CPD sessions on all kinds of things including blogging and podcasting, I have come to update my blog. And hopefully use it more in 2009.
I have created a twitter account to see what all the fuss is about and attached it to here.
So will be trying that out soon.
Well 2009 is here and were back to work, had JISC in on Moday to provide an introdutory session to moodle for the 2 areas set to pilot it, the session had a few gliches with permissions and such, but all in all it seamed to go ok.
Just need to get Ubuntu to work on the server, something to do with the Dell RAID card.
Yesterday was podcasting and blogging day, the blogging went ok, with staff discovering ways in which they could use blogs with there students, online journals, reflective practices and such like. All very positive.
Then the podcasting which was less sucsesful, as the microphones to be used were locked away in a office and the only person with the key was ill, this lead to some last minute foreging about trying to scrat together some headphones with mics from other areas, which we did. These worked to varying extents during the session with audacity, but they got the idea and some were keen to try it out in there own time.
On a side note over the holidays 3 of us got to gether and were talking about the one red paperclip book and decided to do our own version, and to see how far we get. I shall be setting up a blog on this shortly and will post the link.
