as a knowedge tree to digest or farm information but I wonder about its value
for getting a message out to all staff. I had a similar problem, how best to
work out an e-version of our staff daily bulletin. In the end, I created an
area called Staff and organised school staff within into groups called Teachers
/ SSO / Other. A News forum enables e-mail messages to be posted to all the
staff and a Principal bulletin allows for a daily bulletin to be posted to all
the college staff. I tortured myself over this but in the end decided to turn
off the reply and post options for everybody but the admin team and office
staff. We have other forums for social chat, footy tipping, professional
learning teams tc but they are opt-in and small groups rather than spam for
all. <br>

Subject: [Moodle] Daily Bulletin on Moodle - whats the best method ?<br>
<br>
Hi<br>
<br>
Does anyone have any advice on the best method to deploy a daily bulletin <br>
within Moodle ? - the calender was the obvious choice but I was wondering if<br>
others have tackled this differently ?<br>
<br>
cheers<br>
