Feeling adventurous? This is the ALW learner tutorial for Moodle, their VLE – that’s a Virtual Learning Environment (as if you hadn’t guessed!) It’s worth exploring Moodle, mainly because we may have to use it at some point in the next few months. Once you gain access, you’ll discover that I’ve already uploaded a fair amount of material to the site; but, don’t worry, what’s there is just a duplicate of stuff you’ve already received. (This message also went out yesterday and the feedback wasn’t encouraging with several people reporting failure to access our courses and, as far as I’m aware, a success rate of nil. Still, it’s better to travel hopefully…).
