moving on with moodle
My suggestions for a shift away from formal essay writing, towards blogs and wikis got a mixed reception at our team planning day. Worse, some of the old Blackboard courses have been ported across to moodle and they look pretty dire. (Did they ever look good in Blackboard?) I feel I am better off starting again with a structure that makes full use of the read/write features.
I did a little experiment: to scroll down the page of a typical course (imported from Bb) using the arrow-down key took about 2 minutes! They shoot horses don’t they?
