I'm pleased to announce a new course on moodle.org - Teaching and Learning with Moodle!
According to Tomaz Lasic, Moodle HQ's Education Researcher, in his welcome message,
The main aims of the space are to:
- provide a clear, synthesised and relatively gentle 'intro to Moodle' to new users in education and training environments
- serve as an organised point for great ideas and resources for new and experienced users alike
- become a generator and repository of Moodle-related (in)formal research in the use and design of Moodle
Be sure to check out Moodle recipes for educators - a community cookbook! for ideas on using Moodle in education, and feel free to add your own!

by Helen Foster.Moodle is not only used by schools, colleges and universities around the world - an increasing number of healthcare organisations are putting it to good use too!
The Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust in south east London, UK, has been using Moodle for two years. Their site now has almost 200 courses and over 3,000 active users.
According to Jeff Burge, Learning & Development lead for Oxleas, "We manage all of our statutory and mandatory training, Continuing Professional Development and e-learning with Moodle, and it has been a huge success for us."
"As a public body our performance is measured by, amongst other things, our achievement against certain governance standards. The NHS Litigation Authority awarded us a full score for our Level 2 assessment in January of this year, and also highly commended our systems, helped in no small part by our utilisation of Moodle."
For further details of Oxleas' success story, and for more experiences of Moodle in healthcare, please see the discussion Moodle in healthcare in the Moodle stories forum.
