Take off for the VLE!

We now have over 2,000 students enrolled onto the AS and A2 economics VLE and I seem to have spent a lot of time poring over spreadsheets and (hopefully) aligning students into their various teaching groups. Colleagues are starting to Moodle about and it will be fun to see how this develops as a learning resource over the year - experimentation is the name of the game, I too am on a steep learning curve so apologies if I lose track occasionally! I am very interested to hear from colleagues who have tried Mahara - details are available here. Details of the next iMoot are also starting to emerge - here is the link.
