A consortium of US universities got together last month and analysed Moodle 2.0.1 and, based on a number of factors, decided it was not yet ready for them. The major show-stoppers for them included: ● Grade data is purged when a student is removed from the course ● Moodle 2.0 upgrades from 1.9 often fail or require manual intervention ● Moodle 1.9 backups can not be restored to Moodle 2.0 installations. ● Administrators can no longer perform mass uploads of files to courses.

A video on how to clean up a Moodle course by changing a static web page (with a video and some notes) into an online activity without having to start from scratch.

Regular posts about developments in the Moodle community. One post with examples of 5 top Moodle sites chosen by Moodle News contributors.

This page lists describes the moodle formats feature and lists the third-party format plugins that extend the course layout in different ways.

An academic referencing tool based on refworks for Moodle

Moodle site that explains some of the Web 2.0 tools and their applications in teaching and learning. Aimed at school teachers but a nice summary of some of the tools out there.

CompendiumLD is a software tool for designing learning activities using a flexible visual interface. It is being developed as a tool to support lecturers, teachers and others involved in education to help them articulate their ideas and map out the design or learning sequence. Feedback from users suggests the process of visualising design makes their design ideas more explicit and highlights issues that they may not have noticed otherwise. It also provides a useful means of representing their designs so that they can be shared with others.

The CETL(NI) has developed a Hybrid Learning Model which can be used to describe learning activities as a series of understandable and universal set of learning events where the teachers and students experience and roles are clearly defined at each stage. The strength of this method is its transparency, use of plain English and its potential in breaking down effective complex learning activities into a generic, re-usable format so that good practice can be disseminated, reapplied and evaluated easily.

it is an easy-to-understand and engaging slide show, which probably could be adapted to use for beginners training or for an overview session for LMS

a template course in the format of topic outline. a good reference, not for Moodle 2.0 though.

A very useful Moodle Tool Guide map for teachers. New Moodle 2.0 tools could be added to the guide.

This Moodle course covers only Moodle functionality. But the design itself, and their use of Topics format are not bad.

that's what we DON'T want to do

Moodle site example from the UK.

Nice design but all their courses seem to be password-protected. I was not able to get into any.
