Hi, Marie,

Here goes:

1. Do I need special Moodle "plug ins" (forgive me if this is not the right terminology) to embed Youtube Videos or MP4 videos as course material?
   
   No special plug-ins needed. You can embed videos in Moodle.
   
   
2. Can the students/members profile pages be customized? For example, if I want all members to answer 3 required questions about themselves that will be posted to their profile - can this be customized?
   
   Yes, this is possible, if I understand what you want to do. You would add user profile fields to do this - http://docs.moodle.org/en/User_profile_fields
   
   
3. Can students/members upload a photo gallery in their profile?
   
   Hmmm... Well, yes. They could certainly upload images to a database or a glossary and link to that from their profiles. Or you could give them permission to upload to a lightbox gallery.
   
   
4. Can I (teacher) or students upload streaming MP3 content?
   
   Yes, no problem.

Sounds like Moodle will do the job for you.

I hope that helps a bit.

Regards,

Hi, Omar,

I think that maybe you have not yet seen this - http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_Moodle. I think it will help.

If you are just wanting to test Moodle out on your personal computer, you might want to look at http://www.bitnami.org/stack/moodle. It makes installation a breeze.

Best regards,

Nice pic, Ulrike. That John Deere factory was very impressive.

You are correct, of course, about our students. I can think of so many great things that never would have happened without Martin and Moodle.

Just have to tip my hat to Martin D. for his recent recognition as the Best Education Enabler at the Google-O'Reilly Open Source Awards. Woohoo!

We have all known for years that Martin is not only a great educator, but also a dedicated mentor and a tireless supporter of educators all over the world and it's so gratifying to see that others recognize it too.

It is a well-deserved pat on the back, Martin, for a man who has touched millions of lives.
