We've been busy over the last few months sorting out a lot of things in the background of moodle. One thing you might notice is that moodle has been 'branded' now. The autumnal swish which goes across the page reflects the new DLD range of branding and the YSJ logo has been added.
We've also been looking at the assignment submission options and have installed a plugin which allows users to mark assignments online. For the standard e-submission tool, we noticed that there wasn't an option to download all assignments at once, like there is in Blackboard. So we have solved this problem as well, thanks to the moodle community and the sterling work of Jim in the EIS team.
So what next? Well, we've been working with academic staff across all faculties towards pilots in Semester 2, training has taken place in small groups and one to one sessions. The next big thing we're working on is automatic enrolments. That means getting staff and students automatically enrolled on the relevant courses in moodle, in the same way Blackboard works.
I'm also arranging further dissemination of moodle information via the plasma screens located around campus and have posted another notice to Blackboard, to tell people that QSEC and Academic Board have approved the move to moodle.
WE WILL BE MOVING TO MOODLE FROM SEPTEMBER 2010.
