Attention Nichole Saad, I am using this list to bypass a technical problem. Apologies to the uninvolved There seem to be technical problems with the Greenhouse course on Moodle At https://wikimedia-education.moodle.school/mod/forum/view.php?id=23 there is no way apparent for me to open a thread to explain that there is no way to open a thread on the forum specifically intended for asking general questions about navigating the unit. It would be more amusing if it was not so frustrating. Thee does not appear to be any obvious way to communicate with the course providers through the current setup of the course. Cheers, Peter Southwood

A few films were produced on the subject: https://edu.ge.ch/site/archiprod/?s=DIP-Moodle That been said, Moodle is great for online courses with a Classroom size number of attendees. That is probably fine for us, I do not think that we will have hundreds and hundreds of simultaneous participants. I do have not any personal experience with a Moodle course addressing thousands of attendees.
