Please see my post on my moodle project for more information. https://blogs.ubc.ca/berljawskydetec565a/2010/03/07/my-first-moodle-project-still-in-progress/
I’m starting to grasp moodle’s capabilities. One thing that surprised me was the overall capabilities of the program compared to what I expected. Allow me to explain.
I have a strong computer background, working with students from elementary to university in various tech support and education roles. What surprised me the most was the surprising difficulty I had with moodle. Don’t get me wrong, I was able to add forums, and am very capable to add uploads and the like to my shell page (still a shell…:(). I found the overall experience of navigating through the course intimidating, which was a huge surprise. Perhaps this is because it is a graded activity, perhaps it is because I have never used this program before, but it is more difficult than I initially anticipated. Initially I found this frustrating, however the more that I use moodle the more intuitive it seems to become.
I’m hoping to have my project completed within the week, and then continuing with the overall website construction. It’s tricky, I have many ideas, but am struggling somewhat in placing them into technological form. This is something that I need to work on.
As well, I realized that we only have 5-6 weeks of class left. Time flies when you’re having fun (which I am!)
