Editing the E-Toolkit

Tried out editing content in the E-Toolkit Wiki and adding content.  It was extremely easy!

1. Edited the section under Examples of Synchronous Communication Tools
   • Moodle’s built-in Chat Tool
     • Moodle Chat Module: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Chats
     • Chat module includes documentation on: Adding/editing a chat, Chat permissions, Viewing a chat, Chat sessions, Chat reports, Chat FA
2. Added content to the Practice for Moodle Users section:
   • Moodle & Audio Chat & A/V Conferencing
     Moodle itself does not yet include an audio chat solution, due to the large server requirements to implement a standalone solution.
     However, there is a choice of third party modules that you can install into your Moodle to achieve this:
     • OpenMeetings – FREE full audio/video conferencing http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/
     • Dimdim – FREE full audio/video conferencing http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=932
     • Elluminate Live – full audio/video conferencing http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=557
     • Wimba – full audio/video conferencing http://www.wimba.com/products/moodle_integration/
     • Marratech – Emeeting Module – full audio/video conferencing http://docs.moodle.org/en/Emeeting_module
     • Nanogong – FREE, for recorded audio http://gong.ust.hk/nanogong/moodle.html

Now I’m going to test these Audio Chat and Audio/Video conferencing tools…and then once I’ve decided on one, I’ll try integrating it into the Moodle course that is in development.
