We've got First Class. All we need now is Kevork. Hmmm, I wonder if we
can clone him ?  :p

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

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
