Dear All,

I've put together a 15 page handout of step-by-step instructions/screen-shots for teaching teachers the following basic Moodle functions:

I've used it three times with about 20 teachers and it's around two hours worth of tasks.  Let me know if you have any problems with it.

Mark-

per our email, I'll be doing a 3.5 hour workshop this Thursday for NCCIA (NC Computer Instructor's Association). I tend to steer away from printing wherever possible, and don't even know how many are attending. Have you offered this workshop with docs online only, or do you always "hand-out"?

One way or the other, I'll let you know how it goes. I'm rooting to have this added as a resource here on moodle's doc project.

d.i.,

Congrats on your workshop.  Let us know how things go.  I hate to print out too, but I think it's easier for the participants to be able to have it off-screen.  So many confusing things on the screen... asking them to flip between applications might be a bit much.  If you have a 30" cinema display, then don't print smile

1.5 will make this document redundant smile but thanks for appreciating it smile

Good luck!  --Mark

Could you elaborate on how 1.5 would make it redundant? I know we're talking some nicer doc support... but wouldn't you still want handouts?

I meant it would make my particular document redundant due to changes in features.  I shouldn't say redundant because I don't imagine the login screen-shot changing smile  However, we should have the latest screen-shots even if only one check-box has been added.
