What is it? • It’s hosted on Moodle • Moodle is an Open Source learning management system (LMS) designed to host online course materials and collaborative activities. Moodle is an acronym for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment - but at NPS/CHDS we use "moodle" as a noun, verb, adjective, etc.. any part of speech required when referring to the courseware website or the activity required to build a course.
Huh? • Basically it’s a way to share information. • From Diraux • In between members • On specific Issues • Within Units • Lots of content is already there!
No Really…What is it? • It allows for: • Discussion Forums • Wiki’s (Collaborative pages) • Chat Rooms • Messaging • Blogs • For more info on “HOW” see “Using Moodle” on https://www.chds.us/courses/
