HI Neil,<br><br>good point .. with so many groups already running Moodle and Tertiary institutions running Moodle, it would be silly to not give it a look over. Having said that, I am not raining on any Ultranet party or starting any Moodle vs Ultranet flame. There is room for all things LMS and for us pioneers who know how to tie our shoe laces, we can start jogging.<br>
<br>Drama, ICT (grin) .. come to my workshop and I'll face you at high noon for a dance-off wearing my crocodile hat, numbat t-shirt and kangaroo glove puppet. Onya Skip :-)<br><br>Regards Roland<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Meanwhile I have a tech going round all my schools doing an Ultranet readiness test where things like a lack of Windows 7 or untidy wiring cabinets seem to rate quite highly as points of failure!</span></p>

Having just had the final Ultranet Leader training session yesterday it has increased the imperative to have a <b>fully functioning</b> LMS/VLE digital learning platform for next year. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Thanks for the reminder, I just put in a workshop about embedding drama into ICT, similar to what I ran at the VITTA conference. Say, is anybody doing anything about Moodle 2.0 or Google Apps? I am also keen to learn more about the SCORM packages that Kevork raised a couple of weeks ago.<br>
