It has not just helped to simplify the EMA/ALG service for the College; it has been a useful lever in engaging students in the VLE, has reduced the College's SMS texting costs, has encouraged students to take responsibility for their EMA/ALG, and has enabled staff to identify issues with attendance at an early stage. </div> <br /> <div align="right"> <a href="http://www.excellencegateway.org.uk/page.aspx?o=270068" target="_new">See the full publication</a><br /> <a href="http://moodle.org/mod/data/edit.php?d=19&amp;rid=3351&amp;sesskey=Kg0z8AsmaY"><img src="http://moodle.org/pix/t/edit.gif" class="iconsmall" alt="Edit " title="Edit " /></a> <a href="http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=19&amp;delete=3351&amp;sesskey=Kg0z8AsmaY"><img src="http://moodle.org/pix/t/delete.gif" class="iconsmall" alt="Delete" title="Delete" /></a> </div> <div style="font-size: 0.7em;"><span class="nolink">Added to this database by </span> <a href="http://moodle.org/user/view.php?id=24152&amp;course=1">Helen Foster</a> - Friday, 29 January 2010, 05:55 AM</div> </div> http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=19&rid=3351 http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=19&rid=3349 Wed, 27 Jan 2010 20:24:10 GMT <div style="padding: 15px; margin-left: 15%; margin-right: 15%;" class="generalbox"> <div style="font-size: 1.5em;"><a href="http://media.www.theclackamasprint.com/media/storage/paper1378/news/2010/01/27/News/College.Possibly.Blocks.Out.Blackboard.For.Newer.System-3858521.shtml">College possibly blocks out Blackboard for newer system</a></div> <br /> <div style="font-size: 0.9em;"><b>Type:</b> Web article</div> <div style="font-size: 0.9em;"><b>Author:</b> Abigail Neet, The Clackamas Print</div> <div style="font-size: 0.9em;"><b>Language:</b> English</div> <div style="font-size: 0.9em;"><b>Published:</b> 27 January 2010</div> <br /> <div style="font-size: 0.9em;">&quot;I've been using Moodle in my literature courses for a full year now, and the student response there has been overwhelmingly positive.&quot; said Trevor Dodge, a professor at Clackamas who serves on the Distance Learning committee.

It was and is seen as the best available solution that would meet the OU's demands on stability, flexibility, scalability, and also very important: support. Compared to commercial software deployments, Moodle does not rely on one support partner, but features a community of users world wide. With more than 2,5 million registered courses and roughly 28 million users, this is a substantial source of feedback and information, which is invaluable to the work of the OU. By contributing to this community with their own developments, they create a win-win situation, as their tools improve with all the feedback and assistance, and all others users benefit from the additional functionalities added by the OU.</div> <br /> <div align="right"> <a href="http://www.osor.eu/case_studies/the-open-university-uk-creating-a-win-win-situation-by-sharing-code-and-content" target="_new">See the full publication</a><br /> <a href="http://moodle.org/mod/data/edit.php?d=19&amp;rid=2892&amp;sesskey=Kg0z8AsmaY"><img src="http://moodle.org/pix/t/edit.gif" class="iconsmall" alt="Edit " title="Edit " /></a> <a href="http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=19&amp;delete=2892&amp;sesskey=Kg0z8AsmaY"><img src="http://moodle.org/pix/t/delete.gif" class="iconsmall" alt="Delete" title="Delete" /></a> </div> <div style="font-size: 0.7em;"><span class="nolink">Added to this database by </span> <a href="http://moodle.org/user/view.php?id=24152&amp;course=1">Helen Foster</a> - Saturday, 31 October 2009, 12:38 AM</div> </div> http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=19&rid=2892
