The new moodle blog from Cork

Hi all blog readers,

Here's a brand new blog about Moodle and my experiences with this versatile and powerful online learning system.

Moodle stands for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment. But that's computer-speak. The other way to look at it is that to moodle is a verb similar to doodle.

The idea is that you moodle or doodle your way through a bunch of on line learning objects which could be forums, blogs or simple websites and get your learning accomplished.

I call it googling and doodling but from now on it's just moodling.

To moodle there is a key prerequisite: you are your own teacher, you provide your own motivation and your own structure. The moodle environment you join will be facilitated by yourself but it's really key to have a support network of other people with similar learning goals.

You share the learning journey with them.

But you need to know where you want to go. Otherwise how will you know when you have arrived?
