Bitty Browser is truly an amazing web application. It allows you to embed a website within a website.

So you can embed an entire working website inside your blog or Moodle site. Its developer is Scott Matthews. But first, a brief comparison between a normal iframed website and a Bitty framed website.

Hacking Moodle code (PHP) is like tackling a durian.

You have to prise it open with care minding the spiky thorns. Once past this stage, you can enjoy the creamy fruit that lies within. So it is with these hacks. Navigate carefully past the perilious code hacks/mashups and you will enjoy the power of Moodle to enhance your classroom!

Disclaimer: If you want to use these hacks on your own production site, you do so at your own risk. If you need any help with any of the hacks on my blog, feel free to email me at boonsengkam@gmail.com. I'd love to hear from you. Cheers.
