Tech? Moodle is easy to setup and very easy to maintain and should not
require bringing on any extra staff. I change the backup tape once a week
and that is it.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>As for cost. All you need is the
server to put it on. To start with, why not try a desktop computer with a
second HDD (SATA11) and a bit of extra RAM. Then your start up cost is nil.
Have a look at <a href="http://portal.stpeters.vic.edu.au/">http://portal.stpeters.vic.edu.au</a>.
It is basic, but set up in two days and we did not spend a single dollar.
Then people can work with it and when it takes off you can put in a submission for
some good hardware.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

be some merit in offering to run an online, closed Moodle meeting before an
examination. My students are huge online chatters and we have a problem with
non-attendance and cramming. Has anybody else tried this? (might scare them off
or make them get some sleep for a change ;-) <br>

It worked really nicely, and I will do it again. Nice, I think, to give
students a friendly and understanding point of contact at a time of potential
stress. One student wasn't going to bother turning up for the exam as she
didn't think it was worth it, and I was able to talk her into attending - so
just on that result it was worth it!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
