the software felt overly-complex for our needs and a little unintuitive – or ‘clunky’!
our Moodle installation suddenly stopped working altogether one day, and we couldn’t repair upgrade to the latest version we were forced to end the Pilot Project and seek another solution – fast.
The hybrid solution:
WordPress v3.3.1 – Basic foundation for the site
BuddyPress v1.5.4 – Adds social features
ScholarPress Courseware 0.9.5 – Adds LMS features
Fishbook theme v1.2 – Starts to get the site looking like Facebook
BP Group Management v0.5.2 – Allows us to ‘enrol’ users in courses
4. Adjusted the language to match our own, across the site:
‘Groups’ to ‘Courses’
‘Lectures’ to ‘Modules’
‘Schedules’ to ‘Events’
‘Assignments’ to ‘Pre- and Post-work’
‘Friends’ to ‘Contacts’ (and removed the Friends functionality)
‘Activity’ to ‘Newsfeed’
