reggiep Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I have been playing for a while with Moodle 2.0. I have upgraded a copy of our 1.9 installation with no problems. I have also created a brand new install as a demo fro some Primary school in our region who might be looking for an alternative. After all the playing I can't find any "features" that I can sell to staff. Can anyone think of any selling points?

frosty Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I am finding it awesome - repositories make it so much easier to handle files...I appreciate it maybe a technical selling point but still a valid one. The best selling point is still of course that it is free! 1

The repositories are fantastic - mount your shared drives, no more uploading single files. Google docs integration as a file repository, dropbox etc for portfolios - conditional activities, ie students can only progress once they reach a criteria, is a really sought after feature from our staff as it can enable individual learning plans 1

Does this mean a moodle user could browse a resource folder on one of our local, non moodle running, servers?
TechMonkey Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I'm not at the moment as I just couldn't bring myself to inflict the pain of anything, however small, changing for staff. Over the summer I will probably upgrade & I think it will solve a large portion of our problems but I can imagine the up roar if I did it mid term.

reggiep Posted March 16, 2011 Author Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) Repositories! Not sure why but I can't get the flickr public, flickr or google ones to work. Has anyone else? Edited March 16, 2011 by reggiep
