Mostly the first Moodle web tutorial was easy enough. Shouldn\u2019t be too hard to get the hang of this thing after a few more sessions. Feels like it will be a pretty powerful tool, for sure. My experience with various CMS should help though. There were a few steps that were a bit confusing or did not play out like I thought they would or perhaps they should have. In particular, I was not able to \u201cSelect 5 as the Grade\u201d as the Grade menu did not become available to me after selecting the average of ratings. And as a words guy I sometime get thrown off when things don\u2019t appear EXACTLY the same in the activity as they do in the instructions. I am never quite comfortable when the script doesn’t play out exactly the same as it reads. Probably because of one too many badly mangled Ikea projects, or something (did you know that ‘Ikea’ is actually Swedish for ‘Satan’?). I did make an educated guess in a few instances and I think it worked out. That or perhaps I was on the wrong page and did in fact take a wrong turn. But overall it seems like the interface is pretty easy to use and perhaps slightly more user friendly than the experiences I have had with WebCT\/ Blackboard to date. Although that LMS isn\u2019t all that bad either. Good to start playing in the sandbox though! Very good, because the more I read about using an LMS with First Nations learners, the more I feel that how the site is set up is going to be vital to success. Good times and Moodle salad!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
