The new Anti-Moodle Moodle theme: Decaf
This possibly the most progressive Moodle theme to ever hit the theme repository at Moodle.org was created by Lei Zhang. It's very attractive, and it bends the general Moodle aesthetics to a more functional Moodle site. Settings and Administration blocks have been moved to a dock across the top of the page (horizontally) while site [...]
Another Moodle 2.0 Theme from @moodledan (I like this one a lot)
This theme is an adaptation of Dan's EduMoodle theme , but it goes a little further in creating a customizable slide show as part of the header. It's pretty.

Wimba and Elluminate, both synchronous learning tools, have been purchased by the leading proprietary learning management company, Blackboard and have been re-branded already as Blackboard Collaborate. The news comes as a surprise to many (considering the similar market of both companies). Implications for Moodle users are not yet known, but [...]

A Favicon is the little image that shows on most browser tabs or in the address bar next to the URL of the site that you're visiting; this is based on a file usually named "favicon.ico". For Moodle sites it looks something like this:. This little icon is one of the first impressions someone gets from your site and is [...]

Goomoodleikiog is a presentation (originally a Youtube) that shows the power of mashing-up Moodle, Google Apps, Wikis and Blogs in the classroom. The creators, Leigh Murrell and Heidi Beezley, have created a companion site and just presented at ISTE in Denver on their "invention". The Prezi is very well done (but the video is a classic (in [...]
