First of all, I have a great deal of experience building computers, writing databases, using photoshop and making websites. Moodle seems to not be able to enter my brain.
Can it do what I need?
I made a course in Mindflash, developed a powerpoint presentation then uploaded it to them, and made a quiz. It did everything I wanted, then they raised their price from $49 a month to $1199 a month, not kidding. It was simple to make and use, but I just can't pay $1200 a month.
Can moodle make a course, meaning something like a powerpoint presentation for the student to learn, then have a quiz after. Can these be tracked, ie. can we check on their progress, be notified when they pass, or issue the student a certificate as proof of completion?
I have gone into sample courses and there are 50 items, links, modules or whatever, it just seems so involved and not what I need. I need learn, test, report.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. I am completely lost.
