Marlborough Boys' College
School:
Marlborough Boys’ and Marlborough Girls’ as part of an ICTPD cluster have started exploring the use of Moodle. As of term two 2009, all staff and students have access to moodle.
Most LMs’s were investigated but ultimately the open source and freeware nature of Moodle was a major factor. We also had the option of partnering with the Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology via the local LOOP. For this we have David Sturrock to thank - he was incredibly generous of his time and vision.
Prior to this both schools only had access to INTERACT as cluster schools. Some experimentation was undertaken with studnet by setting up a separate student site.
Currently we have several teachers at both schools working together to develop their skills and put courses on line using Moodle. It will take some time to build this from the ground up but 2009 is our first year. The future - 2010
- More users
- Better uses beyond resource collections
- Greater use as an interface with the wider community.
Why is Moodle fantastic? (The people involved, the opportunities it presents)
