My experience in building the Moodle LMS course site has been enlightening. While I have used Moodle for close to ten years, I wanted to push the software to see if I could create a completely new style of online course based on the idea of building an interface similar to a website, complete with icons and introductory paragraphs leading to read more buttons.
The overall theme for the course was using Social Media for Business and Personal Branding. This was completely new topic for me, even though I had taught small components of the idea in my Digital Media Arts 11&12 classes, I wanted to produce something completely unique. The course is suited to the needs of business people and online entrepreneurs and those who want to learn more about how to use Social media to promote themselves, their products and/or their services. I worked far harder and longer than I anticipated to build this site, creating a great deal of original artwork, content and researching topics deeply to gain a better understanding of the most important concepts around business and social media.
