"What's for lunch?" Lisa asked.

"Moodle salad" came the reply.

"What, Moodles again?"

"I threw in a Wiki for something different."

18 February 2011; Feeling Moodlicious!!

There is nothing more thrilling than a break through, except perhaps more than one, and today was the day!!!

I made my first, second and even third Moodle Web page, and can do a basic lesson! #jumps for joy# You know I think we might be getting the hang of this. Sort of. On the most simplist level anyway...

Had a half day session with e-works today and what a relief all questions answered and more information gained!  We realised that we were on the right track however just needed re-assurance as to the path we were heading down and what we were trying to achieve. Also scored some tips and extra tools like jing, kompzer, articulate etc. have decided that we are to finalise the storyboards this week, all text, spelling no point creating and having to edit. We start to build next week.

Going down the path of creating a sequence of web pages for the two units using our story boards and activities both in moodle and using external programs, we think Wimba will be the tool however could also be done in Moodle.

And then, there were two.

Commenced the set-up of our learning platform, configured the look and feel, inserted text and pretty pictures J not too technical, but there was a lot of fussing around, it was a bit challenging at times. Especially when it comes to the look, colours, fonts etc.

Created the course and all the background information, still need to assign roles but will get to it. Found that the Moodle user manual provided is not easy to follow. Oh where oh where has ‘insert a youtube video’ gone? 

Started to think about how to build our storyboard and what tools to use within Moodle. We have some ideas from training however now that we are thinking about how to build them we are finding that there are more and more questions we need answered.

Had a little play on Wimba create today, was able to create a html page however had difficulty inserting media items. Should we use Wimba, or create a web page in Moodle or maybe a lesson. How do you import external activities?

We think we need to schedule another training session!
