Moodle

I have developed/am developing a Library Resources Block for Moodle for placing links to library resources within a course. It will probably use the same set of links as are already used for the Library Links Resource.

I am also investigating a Moodle Activity that allows a teacher to set up a real-time quiz. This would allow someone (say, oh, perhaps a librarian doing a one-shot session) to set up a quick pre- and post-test that could be given during a class. Or, it could allow a quick beginning of class assessment of what skills need to be emphasized during instruction.

In addition, Jeff tells me that his folk are developing a block to be placed on the ASUlearn home page which a person sees right after logging in. This block may include Library news or information such as a student's account (how many books checked out, overdue, etc.)
