[Moodle] A newbie's Question

[Philip Brown]

You could try copying the Mysql data base and the data directory to your
Mandrake installation but I'm a bit rusty on this. Probably the best way
is to backup each course from inside Moodle (windows) and restore it on
the Mandrake installation. This would be the safest way.

We have recently started to setup moodle at our school for the first
time and we had been using it on a Windows machine we are now in the
position were we need to roll it over to a Linux machine.

Is it possible to keep all the settings that we had on the windows
version and restore them to the new Linux box.

We were running it on XP and will be going to Mandrake 10.1

I think it is possible but really want to make sure.

Subject: [Moodle] A focus on connection and network forming

I stumbled across a survey about the deployment, features and
satisfaction
of users with a Learning Management System. We often place an emphasis
on
integration, perhaps at the price of end user satisfaction and
learning
success. 

Whilst assessment, reporting, tracking and compliance are important,
what
seems to be missing from most commercial LMS packages is reported to
be
a
focus on the most valuable part of learning online: connection and
network
forming.
