Using Moodle 2nd Edition

Description

Developed by an extremely active Open Source community, Moodle is a popular course management system that's ideal for creating dynamic online learning communities and for supplementing face-to-face learning. Used in more than 190 countries with support for more than 70 languages, Moodle can scale from a single-teacher site to a 50,000-student university.

 Moodle gives teachers and trainers a powerful set of web-based tools for an array of activities, such as forums, messaging, quizzes, assignments, wikis, blogs and databases.

  Using Moodle is a comprehensive, hands-on guide, with plenty of examples, screenshots, best practices and suggestions for using Moodle tools effectively -- and creatively. Authored by members of the Moodle community, this authoritative book, updated for Moodle 1.8, also explains the new roles and permissions system. If you're using -- or thinking of using -- this CMS, Using Moodle is required reading.
