A very common theme in the Moodle forums is problems with email notifications for things like submitted assignments, forum posts, graded assignments, etc. I was having issues with email notifications only working every once in a while and I finally had time to dive into the Moodle community and research the issue.

I recently learned a valuable lesson after implementing an eLearning course on Moodle where quiz scores did not save. A quick search in the Moodle Forums turned up several pages of answers to my problem. When a quiz is previewed in Moodle , the scores are not saved in the gradebook which is why my supervisors scores did not save.

I ran into a problem this week involving Moodle and SCORM and wanted to share the problem and solution for my own good and for the good of anyone else out there who may be having a similar problem. Moodle was forcing the user into "Review Mode" on their second attempt no matter what their score was on their first attempt.

This week I was able to overcome what I thought would be one of the most difficult hurdles in a Moodle implementation. I knew that Moodle had some options to make this easier but didn't realize just how easy it would be. Moodle provides a couple of different options for managing users in bulk (at least I am only aware of 2).

This week I had some time to moodle around in Moodle. Moodle has some great standard reports but it doesn't appear to be too easy to customize them. I really haven't dug too deep until now so this was definitely an eye opener. I didn't realize how easy it was to set up.

I am seriously considering bringing on Moodle as our company's first LMS but I am a little nervous about setup and support. So, how do you overcome the support hurdles that may come along with an open source solution such as Moodle? If they become frustrated on their first experience there is a rare opportunity for a second chance.

One of the first hurdles myself and other rookie Moodle implementers have to overcome is increasing the maximum file upload size. Moodle defaults to a measly 2 MB maximum file upload size which is pretty limiting. Here's a brief rundown of how I was able to increase the max file upload size for moodle on a hosted server.

I ran into a strange problem using an html file produced in Camtasia by TechSmith and delivered through Moodle that must be common amongst Camtasia and Moodle users. Apparently Moodle doesn't like any spaces or special characters in the file name because Camtasia uses windows naming conventions while Moodle uses Linux.

In my quest for the answer to this question I came across Moodle.

Moodle does a lot of things great, but site wide reporting and bulk user management are definitely not included in those great things. If you are a Moodle administrator for an organization I am sure you know the pain of having to go into each course site to produce grade reports for multiple courses. What is MOOMIS?
