Leeds City College - Moodle 2 Beachhead secured

If you have been following Lewis Carr's blog you would have known that the intrepid VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) manager and his technical team have been on a quest. To be exact, a Moodle 2 upgrade quest of epic proportions. But they've done it. By George they've done it! I'm talking about Lewis Carr, Sukhwant Lota and the VLE development team at Leeds City College.

 Great theme. Love the exciting colours. Leeds City College's Moodle 2 site as of 22nd July 2011.

How did it start?

Durians for tea

This blog is about Moodle and Durians.
So far 100% about Moodle ... until now.
For a multimedia presentation on durian fruit, go to the qwiki page on durians.

Tasty, isn't it? "Bon appétit." (Sid the Sloth, Ice Age)

Nothing like having durians for tea-time. All Moodle and no Durian makes Frankie a dull boy. Care for some?  My wife and I enjoying some D24 durian fruit.To order durians offline, go to http://www.durian.com.my or http://www.durianss2.com.

Using the Presentation Mode in OKMindMap

Last month I featured OKMindMap on Moodlenews.com. Within a month, I had over 430 pageviews of my blog post and Dr. Won's OKMindMap site experienced an influx hits. In today's post, I touch on another one of OKMindMap's features - the Advanced Presentation. Did you know that OKMindMap has this feature that allows nodes to be displayed as a slide? At the end of this post, you will know how to setup you OKMindMap to function like a PowerPoint presentation. So let's get started shall we?

The feature has two options,
"Edit Window enabled"
"Presentation enabled"

Here's how to set up the presentation.

A time to reflect and to say a prayer

Remember Oslo and Utoeya Island.
