This site is by an Australian moodler Tomaz Lasic. Tom has some great little video tutorials on how to use and set up a range of resources and activities in moodle.

A big thank you to Julian “Moodleman” Ridden for helping us sort out the issues with our NCTAFE Moodle theme. The choccies are on their way Julian!

Today I read an inspiring email from Donna, one of our fantastic team members, who is very excited about a Moodle project she has been working on.
The email not only reflected the growth her own capability and confidence levels with the Moodle platform, but highlights her ability to effectively collaborate with her colleagues and encourage resource sharing in the faculty.
As the Faculty e-Learning Contact for the General Education Faculty, Donna has been working tirelessly with her team to create some great ‘template’ Moodle courses for all Gen. Ed. staff to use. While these courses already contain some fantastic interactive resources, they can easily be duplicated and customised for other teachers in the faculty to use.
You can have a look at a tour of the Moodle template course by watching Donna’s CGVE Moodle template tour here. Donna gives you a comprehensive look through the CGVE English course and at the interactive resources that are currently available to engage and teach students.
In her email Donna says:
“I have to say that getting moodle setup is going to be really exciting- today Lyn Connors rang me with a suggested resource for CGVE- to use the new government anti-binge ads- so with a net search I’ve located them on a video, also a podcast discussing their effectiveness and many related articles on the net- am putting them into a little work unit with activities to add as a web page in the English moodle- good fun! I am getting less afraid!“

A Moodle winner…Local Construction teacher Shane Johnston contacted me recently (approximately 3 or 4 weeks ago) regarding developing some courses in Moodle. He had previously used quite a few technologies in his classroom, but was keen to go a bit further.
Shane is now starting to develop teaching resources in the Construction area of our North Coast TAFE Moodle site. Coming to the end end of this two years project, his interest and support has really given me a boost and engaged me to work closer with him to progress our Faculty Moodle space.
(sorry Paul, I had to put your photo in, it’s such a good one! Alex)
