Teaching with Moodle

Hello both,

Jaswinder, what a great idea! 

And of course I agree with this (ABSOLUTLEY nice to know these guys inspired you):

So I thought to provide a resource like Using Moodle book written by Helen Foster and Jason Cole. (I am indebted to both of them for writing such a beautiful book).

OK. I agree with Usman about the CMS/LMS thing....also, I am happy to do a comprehensive peer-review for you-it will not take me long-I am as fast as a Whippet....lots of experience-that is all....I am happy to email you my response....I won't do anything unless you wish me to do so though.

I think there is a sort of depository/database for such books see this link:

https://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?id=7246

I reviewed Eva's book...and I know she self-published that one I think on Kindle....from what I can remember.

hope helpful

Dawn

Thanks a lot Usman!!

I will change CMS to LMS and change the cover image as suggested.

Thanks for your feedback. It really made my day.

Sorry Jaswinder there was a misunderstanding on my side. Itsy all ok. No worries.

Thanks Visvanath,

Yes, I am considering it in putting up the HTML version, I will try to publish it soon, in a day or two.

Cheers Jassi,

Ideally wait for a week before making changes as when people will start reading it, they will give feedback, and dawn must be holding cup of coffee and scanning through the book.

Can you, as well integrate INDEX? although its slightly time consuming (may take 2 days), but will be very helpful to those who want to get information of some specific topic, if you dont have idea of creating indexes, I have video uploaded of Word 2003 for creating indexes.

also, meanwhile I was looking into the book, there seemed one image that was not center aligned. altough not a crucial requirement as you have already surpassed the professionalism of the very first book out of you, as I have seen big mistakes in Professionally Published Books.

Whilst you'll be preparing Book for 2.8, or thinking of adding additional chapters of new things in Moodle 2.8, I may have uploaded the InDesign Tutorial for creating eBooks, that may will be  helpful for you too

In addition to PDF and HTML, can you as well manage MOBI and EPUB format? as people tend to read books off their tablets/handhelds these days rather than keeping laptop in laps or sitting on desktops.

Congratulations Jaswinder.

I like the thematic structure, which makes it accessible for application e.g. the assignment chapter....all there-all the nice links.....workshop-grading etc.

Now, such an approach, a thematic approach would be a really good idea for the index here at moodle.org and I have passed that on-as a consequence of reading your book....the meme eh...can be invaluable

nice way to end the day...well done!
