[Moodle] Explaining Moodle with Lego

[Briant, Stephen L]

Oh cool, so it isn't just me then. The URL doesn't work. Thanks for the
tip on angle brackets, v useful.

The URI that tinyurl redirects to is mangled. 

Incidentally, can I point out that link shorteners like tinyurl are
(IMHO) a bad idea? They create a single point of failure, for example if
the tinyurl server goes down or runs out of money, or a database
failure, then all links are lost. Someone looking at the archives of
this list in 5 years time after the next dot-com crash might find these
links useless. They can harbour malware and spam - the user doesn't know
where the link is going to take them. If the tinyurl server/s are
hacked, all hell could break loose.

But most of all, I want to see where the link will take me.

If you have a long URL to send in an email, you can usually prevent it
being chopped by putting it inside angle brackets <> e.g.
<http://some.really.long/url/goes.here.that.would.span.across.two.or.mor
e.lines.html> - most email clients will interpret that without the line
breaks.

I like the idea behind this . introducing Moodle with Lego. I might use
this at the start of 2009 with our staff briefing or just show the
following YouTube video. Just need to nail down a bigger version so I
can read the smaller text (or read it out as I show it to our staff)
