A lot of people in e-learning and beyond have been asking us about Moodle recently. And it’s no longer just universities, colleges and schools which are using Moodle-based online learning environments.

This time I’m exploring whether it is possible for one of the world’s most popular academic virtual learning environments, Moodle, to be adapted to suit the needs of corporates. A typical VLE is designed to support formal academic courses, whether face-to-face, online or blended. It can be hosted or installed within the firewall.

The question posted was:- Using a VLE might lead to a reduction in attendance. Please feel free to inform us of your own views on this subject by replying to this post. You will find a link here to some of the responses that you may find useful. Does anybody on the list have to deal with this worry? Is it true? How do you counter it?

For my own part working as I do with the Moodle, it was a little disappointing to see only one stand promoting the vle, though there were other vle systems on offer, so competition is good right. Bye for now and please feel free to comment on the show

Producing materials that will be distributed through either a vle or similar e-learning delivery platform, immediately draws the question, should these be the same as documents I would hand out in class, well maybe, but maybe not. And I started to look at possibilities of handwritten font styles.

I usually provide some materials on the vle on C#, because that will be the new language and they can pick up the notes etc over the summer to get prepared. As my students reach the end of thier level 4 course in Computing, an inevitable question is "what will we be using next year at level 5".

Apart from all the very predictable events and chores of a post enrolment week, I have managed to get a good amount of time both in college and out for the production of new phase 3 vle training notes. These new efforts some may say amount to little more than e-Delivery, a reasonable point maybe. So more training sessions?

Not so much about Moodle in this blog post, but of equal importance materials that you can use as part of your course. Having selected your flipped video and material, it is then published to a unique url so that it can be shared either through your vle, e-mail, Facebook, or Twitter, brilliant.

I received a request recently from a client to produce my Moodle training resources as a set of video files, which does make a lot of sense; I have also been using more video this year on the VLE.

Over the past two months I've been working extensively with the open source virtual learning environment (VLE) Moodle. Starting as a complete beginner, I have found Moodle extremely easy to learn (in spite of pretty awful online help) and I have been able to create what I want in surprisingly little time.

As a VLE user, you are becoming increasingly reliant on the availability of digital content, OK you save it in Moodle or maybe a content repository and thats OK right, well maybe not,did you kmow the census population data for 1951 got itself lost, along with a significant portions of the 1961 and 1971 census data!

The last couple of weeks including the usual half term have certainly been busy given that we took the opportunity to move a Moodle vle from a Linux to Windows platform. Being a merged college as we are, we now have two instances of the Moodle running on a single server and it all seems to be holding up extremely well.
