More Moodle Notes

Here are the things Moodle can do that Pbwiki can't. Ideally, if we choose not to do Moodle, these are the tasks for which I'd like to find replacements through other websites or programs.

Pros:
- online gradebook
- site, course, group, user events
- easy chat sessions

Cons:
- No convenient links page? Taggable resources? (Could use wikis within moodle for this instead?)

ETA:
Things you can do:
- For a page full of links, you can: 1) create a web page and have it float at the top of the course outline; 2) create a wiki and do the same; 3) also break either down and have links specific for each topic listed under each unit (if that's the way the course is being organized).

- Can set up hierarchies of folders for storing your files--pbwiki stores everybody's in the same place, so naming conventions and such become more of an issue, and it can be hard to find your file. (NOTE: Disadvantage is max upload of 2MB--changeable, depending on the server settings?)

- Assignments: Require that students upload digital content by a certain time.
