Its been a while since the last unofficial Moodlemoot update so I thought I’d round out the week by giving another glimpse into how the planning for the largest Moot in the Southern Hemisphere (we think) is going.
A little while back I wrote a post about using Moodle as a Community Hub rather than as a conventional LMS, with particular mention of the Educause Australasia 2009 conference website. I promised that I’d come back and talk some more about the tools used to create the Hub.
After having created two more in the past month for two higher education professional groups, I’ve also thought of a couple of other things that can make a Community Hub a success.
Just recently I’ve been asked to put together a couple of Community Hubs using Moodle, and its made me think about what works (and what doesn’t) in setting up such an environment.
Firstly, what do we mean when we talk about a Community Hub? To be honest I’m not sure if anyone has used that term much before, so if it turns out that it becomes a common term then remember – you heard it here somewhere early on in the piece.
