(quote) whether your college simply told you to go look for something called Moodle and then ask folk there what to do.....
You know Marc; actually I think a fair number of teachers/tutors probably DO just say "go on Moodle" because they assume ,either that the student will know how to do this, or that their Moodle is the only Moodle around, not realising it's a name for software that's used in other places worldwide.
