Re: Free KS3 ICT Moodle Courses
I've torn myself away from the series finale of CSI directed by Tarantino to say "THANK YOU" -what a truly fantastsic resource. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for deciding to share it with us.
Re: Free KS3 ICT Moodle Courses
What a lovely response. That's very kind of you.
I have come to the conclusion that people seem to be spending a lot of money on inferior systems in the UK because they come with content so what better way to undermine that than giving away both the content and the VLE freely
Thanks again.
Darren

Re: Free KS3 ICT Moodle Courses
Don't mention. Your benevolent sharing of resources is what ihave come to expect form the wonderful MOODLE community.
I believe I am working on an exciting wee project at the moment (referred to in my Music-themed request earlier today) and I hope to share my findings from the 8-week-long experiment with you all later on.
BTW I agree with your assessment of other 'inferior' systems.

Re: Free KS3 ICT Moodle Courses

Funny you should say that... now it's my chance to offer something 
I have a year's worth of OCR's AS ICT if that's any good to you (only paper 2512 as my colleagues does the coursework and 2514).

Re: Free KS3 ICT Moodle Courses
This guy has also published some AS and A2 ICT notes.
A dog I know (watch out, Helen) put us in touch. I emailed him a short while ago to see if he was interested in coverting them to moodle course zips for download but he didn't follow me up on that.

Re: Free KS3 ICT Moodle Courses
I've put together one for Unit 1 OCR A/AS (Code: G040) - not much of a course but does include the OCR resources and a few other bits)
Re: Free KS3 ICT Moodle Courses
This looks interesting - thanks for posting .
I will pass it to our unit one person (different board) and I'm sure it will be useful.

Re: Free KS3 ICT Moodle Courses
Darren
thanks a lot for sharing these. I agree with the Moodle approach to share our generic courses with other teachers so our students can benefit. I am preparing some short courses for freshman students on topics such as study skills, time management, handling stress, interpersonal skills etc. When they are ready I will post a note to this forum.
Keep up the good work!

Re: Free KS3 ICT Moodle Courses
Drew and Paul, thank you also for your generous offers.
Perhaps you could make your courses available in the Moodle Exchange?

Re: Free KS3 ICT Moodle Courses
I certainly like the idea of the moodle exchange and have got a couple of courses from there and put up some Y7 ict quizzes IIRC but things seem a little empty really. In fact, I have just re-enrolled and it looks very similar to when I last looked ages ago. This could be because the profile of the course is not very high or people aren't submitting there courses there!
There are a few problems with this course for me which prevent me from submitting my courses there:
The max upload is 500KB so none of my courses would go up
Also, I do not like the glossary as a means of organising this information. I know you can browse and search but, IMHO, it doesn't work in this situation.
Most people in the UK would want to go to a course of UK specific courses and grab anything / everything they need for their exam board / syllabus, as the logs from my site show me over the last few days
If anybody would like there zip courses putting up on my site as they are too large for the moodle exchange (or as well as putting them on the moodle exchange) then let me know.
It would be nice if all of this were here on moodle.org but I don't have a solution in my mind that would work and suit everybody.

Re: Free KS3 ICT Moodle Courses

Re: Free KS3 ICT Moodle Courses
WOW!...thank you.
Unit 7.1 week 5 resources Dunk the Teacher and Presentation hangman both link back to your site (and are broken)...
Re: Free KS3 ICT Moodle Courses

I will fix it

Re: Free KS3 ICT Moodle Courses
I don't seem to be able to backup these courses on my site. I get a list of good backup messages that ends "Zipping backup" but doesn't give me a "backup complete message", nor does it take me to the folder that it does when I back up other courses I have. Being a complete novice I have no idea where to look now. Any advice? (I'll try to search my host machine for the file)

Re: Free KS3 ICT Moodle Courses
Strange 
So you have installed the courses and that worked fine and now you are trying to create a backup from those courses?
Hmmm. What are the file sizes of the zips of the courses that do work. In other words are these courses creating zips which are large compared with your own courses?
Also, which version of moodle are you running?

Re: Free KS3 ICT Moodle Courses
Hi Jake
I have just tried to download your moodle resource for KS3, GCSE for ICT from www.bassingbournvillagecollege.com/moodlebackup.zip however, the link doesn't appear to work. Has the file been moved or has the address changed? I'm very keen to see the resource you have put together.
Best wishes
Jayson

Re: Free KS3 ICT Moodle Courses
have you got the North West grid for Learning OCR course and have you installed it on your moodle system?
We are doing this now and the course works fine on schools computers and is a promising piece of software which covers ever module.
Moodle version crashes at present sadly.
Do you know anyone who has/is using it?

Re: Free KS3 ICT Moodle Courses
have you used the new OCT Nationals software from North West Grid for Learning?
It comes in moodle format (Scorm) for versions 1.5 - 1.7
Unfortunately it doesn't quite seem to work yet although the non moodle version looks very interesting.
Re: Free KS3 ICT Moodle Courses
