I'm getting really jealous of you guys! Its becoming more and more here like what Ros told me its like at her place of work. I put proposals in for next years development/upgrade as we were invited to, but, do you think I've got ANY feedback...nup! Not even a thanks for my suggestions....
Makes you wonder why we bother!
Still here next year, after that, who knows? Am just about to sit my last exam to qualify me to VCE/HSC maths levels via the Grad Cert Maths(ACUonline) (having previously taught up to y10 maths for the past 10 or so years) so I could be bribed if the offer is right!!
On another tack, I'd love to be a party to any moodle or similar PD that is being run, just to expand my skill base, even though it all 'techie-centric' here. (he's a local and I'm not, simply put).

back to finishing reports now.....ho hum ho hum....

Hi Stephen,
I was trying to resist but I won't hold back any longer to unveil the Forest Hill College (FHC) Ultranet.
Using the PHP and MySQL book as a starting point a system has been built running off the Apache server..
Student or teacher logs on at the intranet with an icon called " MyFHC" . They are authenticated against Novell using LDAP.
If successful the script extracts their timetable from First Class on the MSSQL server. It then draws their timetable with
hyperlinks to the Moodle class that subject is connected to. It also shows a class list link with student details such as logon
code, full name, email , and any other info. On clicking the subject in the timetable it seamlessly enters the Moodle class without
a logon through passing of variables used in a session ( version 2 of my book to cover this ) !!!
For this to happen moodle is being reinitialised each year so that a script will go to the First Class timetable database , extract
all classes and then create these in the MySQL database moodle is installed in. Thereafter, teachers will be allocated as well as
students to each course. This is written in PHP.
Using LDAP to carry through authentication to 3 servers is pretty cool.
Next stage is to tie in the room and resource bookings directly with the First Class Database on MSSQL so the data is always live
and not copied for manual update onto another database like Access !
A screen grab to follow soon for your information.
Take Care

I am creating a course for every subject in the school next year whether they ask or not using something similar to this template.
I also have a version of a the moodle demo course that needs a bit of work (to big to email)

PS: My techs are trying to install a server to your php/mysql instructions using Windows (they have a little hair left but it is
disappearing fast.
Meanwhile, I am enjoying your excellent course documents.

Hi Folks,
I am trying to put together a PD for critical/essential moodle functions for the classroom teacher.
Are there any kind souls out there who may have already done this work who are willing to share ?
It would save several hours of prep time and I would be grateful for any help.
Kind Regards

Will now have a play (instead of finishing reports....)

Have you tried the User Administration Block (http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=893). It allows mush easier enrolment and
can use a find criteria to search users, then mass enrol them. I have found it very useful and time saving.
Thanks,
James
