Moodle Toolkit Reflection
by Cathy Jung ~ June 21st, 2009. Filed under: Toolkit Reflections.I found this toolkit activity to be quite straight forward. The instructions provided were step-by-step. What I found to be most challenging and what surprised me the most was that Moodle did not have a preview option. You had to save to see what you had done and then make changes if you were not satisified with the result. For instance, under course settings, you were unable to get a preview of what each theme looked like. You had to select one, save it and then change it if you didn’t like it. Similarly, to view whether bold or colour font looked better you had to try it, save and then edit if you didn’t like it. I found I spent quite a bit of time experimenting with what I liked in terms of asthetics. In comparison, WordPress has a preview feature, which I find to be very helpful as it allows you to see what it will look like before committing to it.
