Moodle

A frustrating couple of days with html and NVu. I created a couple of web pages with links and photos and got them uploaded into Moodle and they work – except the photos are not there and it isn’t obvious to me why. NVu is misbehaving and not letting me change fonts. I have downloaded a trial version Dreamweaver and I am going to start from scratch. Now that I have a better sense of what is possible and what things will look like inside Moodle it should be smoother and hopefully the photos will work this time round. Dreamweaver has links to Lynda.com help videos so I have been watching those. Good fun.

Moodle

I worked through the wiki suggestions for logging in and setting up my Moodle site. I was surprised that when I tried to set up the Welcome page the formatting I saw in the editor page was lost once it got published, but not when I set up the discussion posting. Perhaps it was because I tried to paste out of a Word documet in the first case.

I also learned the hard way – I posted the discussion topic for the Icebreaker discussion and then started to reply to it. I noticed an omission in the discussion topic, so I went back to fix it and lost the incomplete reply in the process. Such is life.

It took about 45 minutes so far and the biggest challenge is that I have only worked within Blackboard, so it isn’t clear to me how much of the organization is “standard” for MOODLE and how much I could potentially have control over.
