[Moodle] Daily Bulletin on Moodle - whats the best method ?

[Murray O.]

I have looked at a number of solutions and the most practical for my school
involves both paper and electronic copies.

Our student reception secretary creates the daily bulletin in word, prints a
copy for all staff pigeon holes and copies it to a network drive, a link
from moodle opens it.

All staff can contribute to the daily bulletin but it must goes through the
secretary so they either drop off a hand written note, email or phone.

 

The biggest issue is getting staff to read it!

The wiki is a good idea 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.

We use the News forum on our front page. I created a user called 'The
Office' I modified it to not allow any replies although some might think it 
would be a good thing to allow. It's at

Hi

Does anyone have any advice on the best method to deploy a daily bulletin 
within Moodle ? - the calender was the obvious choice but I was wondering if
others have tackled this differently  ?

cheers
Russell
