Moodle Course Site Launched
My experience in building the Moodle LMS course site has been enlightening. While I have used Moodle for close to ten years, I wanted to push the software to see if I could create a completely new style of online course based on the idea of building an interface similar to a website, complete with icons and introductory paragraphs leading to read more buttons.
The overall theme for the course was using Social Media for Business and Personal Branding. This was completely new topic for me, even though I had taught small components of the idea in my Digital Media Arts 11&12 classes, I wanted to produce something completely unique. The course is suited to the needs of business people and online entrepreneurs and those who want to learn more about how to use Social media to promote themselves, their products and/or their services. I worked far harder and longer than I anticipated to build this site, creating a great deal of original artwork, content and researching topics deeply to gain a better understanding of the most important concepts around business and social media.
Your site is amazing Ken and your reflection shows the great lengths you took to ensure you had an end product that pushed the limits of your experience with Moodle. The details of how each piece is interconnected, aesthetically effective and pleasing, and user friendly for your students are impressive – you have put a tremendous amount of work and effort into this and it shows. Love it!
