So in keeping with my crazy off-grid life, I’ve posted my LMS site proposal three days early. It’s a total departure from what I thought I was going to propose; I was planning to propose an LMS site to support faculty members in the development of their teaching skills, but when I realized the assignment requirements included specific course components, I decided that I didn’t have the curriculum to build from. I’ve never taught teaching skills, so I decided that learning to use Moodle would provide enough of a challenge, and went with something I know fairly well: English as a second language. The end result is a proposed course that I’m excited to start building. Have a look and let me know what you think.
I think I need a long weekend, but not before I prepare my first post via the WordPress app on my iPad. This will help me figure out which tasks I can actually do when I’m “offline” – can I do a blog post using the app? We’ll see what happens when I click post, and how the formatting turns out. I’ll also try to make a comment to see if it works. Even if this post works, I’ll probably still be too nervous to try to complete & submit a graded assignment from “the back 40,” but maybe I’ll be one step closer.
Fingers crossed,
Kathy
Nice! I posted from the WordPress app – success! It’s a little bit clunky – to publish the post, you have to go in and change the status to “Published” – but it worked! And now to post my first app-based comment… Maybe I’ll be doing coursework from the bunkie before the term is done. Hey, a girl can dream!

it’s not as easy to use as a computer’s browser, but the WP app is pretty good, eh?
Thanks for trying this out. You’ve encouraged me to download it and begin to work with it as well.
