Opinion: the #Blackboard Mobile App and why it matters for Moodle
I use Blackboard for my day job at StraighterLine.com. It's the system that I inherited. Truth be told, it works well for our needs, there's great and responsive technical service and the learning curve was small (I'm convinced that any LMS user could easily jump between the various systems available, with just a little time and [...]
33 Examples of the Book Module providing passive professional development
AUB (the American University of Beirut) was a big contributor of traffic to our site last week from their very nice Moodle (http://moodle.aub.edu.lb) and I'm glad they were (otherwise I wouldn't have seen their really great use of the Moodle Book module which provides and easy to access "Guide to Moodle" for faculty).

Moodle Do’s and Don’ts Comic

The “Moodle Museum” from CLAMP-IT.org
CLAMP-IT, the developers of the Moodle 1.9.9 + LAE distribution announced last week have a great archive of Moodle tips and tricks called the MoodleMuseum. Tips are anything from advanced uses of the wiki, using the summary field appropriately, tips on organization of resources and your course page, forums and glossaries. All in all there [...]
Moodle 2.0 Release day +1 (Delay update)

Originally there were upwards of 8 Preview Releases scheduled, but after only four Martin Dougiamas updated the community with a call for QA testers in order to release the [...]
