hi everyone - moodle, the free open source online learning system, is gathering

And moodle is even making inroads at the opposite extreme too - little
CAWD - Some of my computer club friends helped me to have a look at it.
It seems to me that if I thought of CAWDnet's various Special Interest
Groups as "courses" - and if the people connected with the groups
became "teachers" or "participants" on these "courses" (depending on
their level of involvement) then moodle could be useful to us. Our
various SIGs could develop into various Online Learning Communities,
using moodle as an appropriate tool for discussion and "project based
learning". It could replace things like yahoo groups, and also provide a
mechanism for shared document creation and collection - our "course
content" - which all SIG members could refer to - and which late joiners
to the "course" could read. They could study our "course" to catch up
with the work and knowledge of the SIG.
I don't know when I will have time to follow these ideas up, to see if
they are practical.
If any list members have advice or comments on the practicality of the
idea I'd be interested to hear from you - on or off list.
