Hi Moodle colleagues,<br><br> Due to family commitments I ( and probably a few others ) could not attend this great day you had organised - thanks to Phil .<br>Is it possible we can get a list of the main skills, ideas and features you explored/shared so more can benefit from it.<br>
We can post it to the moodle site or attach to the list email.<br><br>Regards<br>Kevork<br><br><br>>>> "Meadows, Roslyn M" <<a href="mailto:Meadows.Roslyn.M@edumail.vic.gov.au">Meadows.Roslyn.M@edumail.vic.gov.au</a>> 28/01/2008 9:59 pm >>><br>
Hello moodle fest participants!!!!!!!!!!!!<br><br><br><br>Firstly thank you so so much Phil for running the moodle install fest at<br>WellingtonSC - it is much appreciated and I am so impressed with (and<br>envious of) your ICT facilities!!<br>
<br><br><br>Secondly thank you to all those people who helped and encouraged me to<br>continue my quest to get moodle happening at my school. I will continue<br>to stomp my feet and flex my muscles (puny as they are!) in my endeavour<br>
to get it happening! I learnt so much and continue to be impressed with<br>ICT people and how willing they are to share their knowledge and<br>resources with no expectations of any rewards in return - "free open<br>source learning" maybe?? If only the rest of the selfish and greedy<br>
world could follow our lead!<br><br><br><br>OK so I left the fest with a box which had ubuntu (desktop version) and<br>VMWare installed and it was halfway through the install of ubuntu server<br>(as a guest VM) when we pulled the plug on it (literally!!) as it was<br>
taking so long - and we finally went home!!<br><br><br><br>When I got home and plugged it all in - nothing happened - so eventually<br>I had to delete the linux server virtual machine and then create another<br>and reinstall the ubuntu server under vmware, imagine my horror when I<br>
finally realized that ubuntu server works entirely from a terminal<br>window!!! (It took me a while to figure out that there was no gui with<br>the ubuntu server installation!!) Then - how to install moodle?? -<br>luckily the www stood in for close friends and I now have a moodle<br>
install which is ready to go as soon as I know what the web address is<br>and can confirm that it will be <a href="http://moodle.bentleighsc.vic.edu.au">moodle.bentleighsc.vic.edu.au</a> - but<br>overall feel pretty proud that I have learnt some basic linux commands<br>
and got to this point. If you haven't already figured it out - I am a<br>total newbie when it comes to commands - only knowing the basic DOS<br>commands and most of them I have forgotten! But I have managed to get<br>
the whole LAMP setup happening (still worried about Clam though!) A<br>steep learning curve but a long weekend well spent!!<br><br><br><br>TOO COOL!!<br><br><br><br>Now the BIGGEST challenge - to get this box hooked up to our servers and<br>
make it available to the kids and staff - praying I have some support<br>from the school end!! If not - you will hear me screaming!!!<br><br><br><br>Thanks to all of you - I look forward to hearing your stories of how<br>
moodle is being implemented at your schools.<br><br><br><br>Cheers<br><br>Ros<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>Roslyn Meadows<br>Domain Head - ICT Implementation<br><br>Domain Head - Assessment and Reporting<br>Bentleigh Secondary College | 9579 1044 | 0412 614 062<br>
