Interesting use of Moodle in the medical area. Thought you might be interested how it is being used in areas outside of Education.<br><br>Regards Roland<br><br><br><blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">

<p style="margin-left: 40px;">We
have implemented Moodle in a healthcare environment - we need both
learning management and course management functionality, but budgets
are tight - hence Moodle. It has been a dramatic success - in just 6 months we have a site
with 800 users, 90 resources and 60 lessons - lots more in progress /
under development.</p><p style="margin-left: 40px;">We have 4 key areas of focus - mandatory update for staff (moving
away from the classroom); patient safety (with mandatory lessons for
key clinical staff especially trainees); postgraduate medical
education; and clinical IT training. We are planning to move into other
areas soon. </p><p style="margin-left: 40px;">Is anyone else doing similar?</p><p style="margin-left: 40px;">Tim</p><p style="margin-left: 40px;">I am clinical lead for IT in an acute hospital (serving 350,000 pop)
- our Moodle installation covers healthcare domains across the whole
county (5 organisations, >8k employees!)</p></blockquote>
