Woops sorry! Forget to mentiona m from Business background also getting members of other departments whipped up in a frenzy to use Moodle....
....what I have found is where you can show them how to raise the profile of their department even more.....
...using the gallery idea and get them to show case their work.
What are technology department is doing is to upload video tutorials for students to use. Then they can use the quiz etc to test knowledge to make the activity not totally passive.....a great sell for homework tasks for assignment as no marking!
Hope a helpful ramble
