I'm attending a university elsewhere that is using something different for their teaching device. However they have it setup where it could become an option to look at somewhere down the road for Moodle. The way it is used there is in the student profile. We can make a small web page (html) about us and it can contain anything in regards to who we are, etc. I've got mine set up with one of my photos that had been taken a few years back at a Christmas party. It's just something to say here I am and this is who you'll be talking to via the message board.
Just a thought.
