Mark Drechsler (@markdrechsler) covered the OAM (Office Add-in for Moodle) which was released by Microsoft recently and posted a little known usability issue.
you must have the ‘Courses’ block showing on your Moodle site [main page] for it to work
If you plan to use the Add-in, do check out Mark’s blog post: http://www.markdrechsler.com/?p=158.
The full review is very well done and worth the read. Check it out (and his other posts) for a lot of handy Moodle tips and tricks.

Does this work with office 2010
Chris, It’s currently not available/working with Office 2010. However in the video (http://www.moodlenews.com/2010/revisiting-the-office-addin-for-moodle-oam-microsoft/) they do mention that they will be working to support that version of Office. No word on when.
