Write an entry for your course weblog about your experience here (on your “Home” page and posting a new entry). How labour intensive was the process? What worked well? What was challenging? What surprised you?
Welcome
Last night I added a “Welcome” webpage and an “Icebreaker” discussion forum to my ETEC 565 Moodle site. This process was not labour intensive at all (less then 20 minutes). We have been using Moodle in our school as a supplement for some of our courses, so I am currently familiar many of the basic Moodle features. The steps in the assignment were clear, however, I was not sure why we were instructed to skip the summary portion of our entries.
hmmm
The most challenging part was trying to think of content to add, especially at this point when the theme of our LMS project has not yet been determined (hope I did not miss something about that step!)
uh-oh
Actually, I find the use of WordPress more labour intensive, probably becuase I have much less experience with it, and I am not a blogger or journal writer, so I will have to remind myself to post thoughts here, and not just the required assignments – that will be one of my biggest challenges!
