Moodle CMS Up and Running

Spent the last little while getting Moodle up and running on the server. I am planning to experiment on a PD model where educators help to create the course as they go through it. (I know – sounds flakey – but if it works )

The idea is to create a structured core of a course with the ability to edit elements within it’s structure. Learners can go through the course passively or actively. A passive participant would read, view, and reflect on the content that they are learning. After or while working through the assignments, an active participant could change or expand on the sections of the course through topical wikis, synchronous and asynchronous discussions. The self-directed collaboration nature of the course will rely on course participants in order to maintain portions of the course.

I am going to start with a sample core course and if it is successful, increase the breadth. Before I open up the course to everyone I would like to get some feedback from a few people. If you are interested in participating in the course please contact me. The length of the course will depend on the participants level of interest and if they are an active or passive participant.
