Teaching with Moodle

Tim,
This is an old thread, but I thought I might contribute.

If I understand right, you're not training the teachers to use moodle, you're just helping them make the transition to this other, more "technology rich" teaching mode. Forums and workshops could really help. Don't give them instructor priveleges if they aren't going to teach with moodle, because it takes time just to learn moodle, and you want them to focus on the going project.

I'm using a moodle course to teach instructors how to use moodle. our webmaster found a course already available, open, which I've added to. you might want to look. forums and workshops can help a lot, and that way the teachers can upload their own stuff, and others can comment on it.

This link is the instructor training course. You can see the "Ask Amy" forum where they've all asked me their clever/whiny/stupid questions.
