Foundations in Moodle Trailer

Enroll here: https://www.udemy.com/how-to-moodle/?couponCode=99210%21 I remember when I first started using Moodle with my high school students. The program was a beast! I think I spent 4 months, no joke -- 4 months, just trying to figure out how to get the software installed on the server! And that is just the first step! I don't know if my search terms were wrong or if there wasn't anything available, but I could not for the life of me find anything online that covered basic installation. Moodle is hard to figure out. Like... really hard to figure out. Like... the Moodle guys at last years' Q Conference said it was hard to figure out. THE GUYS WHO MADE IT SAID IT WAS HARD TO FIGURE OUT!! Which may be pure authenticity or a wily sales pitch. You know, something in the vein of reverse psychology. Anyhow, Moodle is out there... and it's looming. It might even be billowing. So, in light of this looming and billowing software, I figured I'd take a stab at helping people use it. I mean I did eventually figure out how to get the software installed, so I can offer that much! And I think that alone might make the internet a better place. But beyond mere installation the course actually does cover some foundational stuff. You know... the really important topics, stuff like, How to Enroll Students in a Course. Which is pretty darn important for us to know because without students we are nothing. And that is something we might be better off not telling our students. We got to keep them believing they need us! What else? What else? It covers How to Create Online Quizzes. Which might be my favorite part of Moodle because my grading has been cut in half. Seriously. Ask my wife. We just started rock climbing because I have time now. It covers how to add sweet online assessments like forums and blogs and chats and glossaries and wikis to a course. I think the glossary is my favorite assessment type in Moodle. It's like writing a dictionary with your students. And after the glossary is complete, I feel so accomplished. I mean I just wrote a dictionary for heavens sakes! That's an accomplishment! You know what, you should check out all the topics. The course is located at https://www.udemy.com/how-to-moodle/?couponCode=99210%21 and it is 63 lectures long so we make it a little ways past installing the software.
