+1, except not just PDFs. We have much better presentation formats, such as Scratch, Turtle Art Portfolio, and Etoys presentation objects. On Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 6:16 AM, Caroline Meeks wrote: > Thank Martin! > Your email really helped me. > Here is my current thinking on lesson plans (not cours

Re: [IAEP] Where should we put Lesson Plans? Currwiki?

The biggest job in things like Moodle and its courses is really categorisation and the best way to go about doing this. You often end up restructuring the whole menu system over and over as subjects and languages pop up, ans subcatagories seem to move from location to location. For example, the lea

Re: [IAEP] Where should we put Lesson Plans? Currwiki?

I see that Moodle can support a MySQL database. Has anybody implemented a system with a database of learning modules that a teacher can select from in creating a course? If so, then we can design such a database for easy searching by various relevant criteria and for linking modules together in seq

Re: [IAEP] Where should we put Lesson Plans? Currwiki?

Actually, points 4.1 and 4.2 have been integrated into moodle for quite a while now. Perhaps its the flexibility which is making these possibilities hidden, that and their particular use of wording. Unfortunately, people tend to not use the full capaccity of its uses until they completly understand

Caroline, I am copying this to Peter Levy, the Curriki person you need for the purpose of setting up partnerships. He's been very helpful in answering my Curriki questions. Peter, This is a neat project. Beautiful things may happen when you connect. Cheers, Maria Droujkova http://www.naturalmat

Re: [IAEP] Where should we put Lesson Plans? Currwiki?

Hi Chris, I think the right answer is to put our materials on both your system and Curriki for now and hopefully an automated interoperable system will emerge. I am very interested in collaborating with OLE and in making materials accessible to schools without internet access. Please talk more abo

Re: [IAEP] Where should we put Lesson Plans? Currwiki?

Seeing as there is a screencast on how to move curriki objects into Moodle, its clear the content is not the same, and there is no simple way to export a course from one to the other. Well, its gonna be easier from Moodle to curriki than the other way round, seeing as curriki is a collection of ele

Re: [IAEP] Where should we put Lesson Plans? Currwiki?

Wikis, by their nature, don't lend well to formal organization. In order to get content into Moodle there are conventions and forms. I for one agree with David that Moodle makes a lot more sense than a wiki. Dennis ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project

Re: [IAEP] Where should we put Lesson Plans? Currwiki?

What David is saying is true. Current situation - For ease of integration - use Moodle itself, and linux-for-education.org is a good place to do it. There is no other curriki-like moodle instance that I know of. Moodle.org is building an index of such resources though. - IME Curriki is mainly a

I personally wasn't aware of Currwiki http://www.curriki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ though on first glance it appears interesting though seriously lacking any quantitative evaluation (and we know the value of that a la USA/ NCLB). The question I have: how will sugar users teacher/students be able to
