Hi, Bruce,

I do use the assignment module for this, but I create several upload a single file type assignments. That avoids the "submit for marking" problem. Not very elegant, but it is working for me.

I do have one dropbox where I just tell the students not to click on the send for marking button. Ugly, very ugly, but no problems yet.

Hi, Miki,

I am not familiar with Magic, but any database containing at least two fields can be used as an external authentication source, so you should be able to set up a solution to this.

Would this be your answer? -- http://docs.moodle.org/en/External_database_authentication

Hi, Matt,

Not sure what kind of problems you are having, but you might want to take look at one or both of these books by Ray Lawrence. I think you will find that they are quite straightforward.

You might also find that just searching for Moodle at You Tube will yield some very good resources.

Hope that helps a bit.

Say, that really is nice to hear, Dante.

Do you think you might post a little more about that?

Thanks,

Welcome to MoodleLand Stuart,

Lots of teachers at my school upload PPT to the site. It works out pretty well, except that sometimes viewing the presentation inn the browser is an issue. If that happens at your school, keep this tip in mind -- http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=38425#p177009

I do encourage our teachers to convert their presentations to Flash. I have been experimenting with this for a few days now and am quite happy with it -- http://www.print2flash.com.

Hope that helps a bit.

Regards,
