Hmmn, just debating train v coach for convenience rather than cost. Is it easier to get to the show from Victoria coach station or Waterloo train station ?

Looking for a visualiser, pref portable, for myself and also VLE developments and online/vle resources

Wednesday

Hi all Its been a long while since I've been here but just wondered if anyone has any proven methods for: 1) managing memory cards from video cameras i.e. logging them in/out with teaching staff and storage of video files. 2) We also have a requirement (in HE) to keep recordings of student presentations and speaking test for quite some time and storage is an issue. Currently being just dumped on a 2Tb external drive (which is then not backed up !). I'm just concerned it is too easy for this to be damaged and the recording lost. Any thoughts anyone ? many thanks

Aha - going on Saturday even though I'm paying myself ! Will pop across to see you on the Edugeek stand

Still waiting to hear if work will let me go

Lucky you ! At my place the whole lot falls on just me

I think I asked Layershift to install all the required php modules for us but I wasn't planning on upgrading php anyway at the moment. I have the blocks in but at the moment they're causing all the right hand side blocks on courses to disappear (we're on 1.9.11+) - may be a template issue (Fandango)

Just checked our server and it says version 5.1.6-27.el5 Not had any probs with it at all (we pay for a managed services so if I want anything upgraded etc. they (Layershift) do it for us)

Big thanks again Rabbie - that's sorted it ! A few niggles to sort out with block placement etc. but at least the login and authentication side is now working ! Hurrah ! Cheers again for the help (Sorry it's not beer !)

Hi m8, thanks for replying (tearing my hair out with this !). Yes, run the previous cmdlets and logged in - however, a thought has just occured that I am logging in with the impersonation account and maybe, as you said, I should use the live@edu admin account so will give that a go. From what I've found out about the error it's something to do with the eExchange services account so maybe that will do the trick. Running Moodle on a linux box from layershift.co.uk - excellent and no probs so far (maybe I've just tempted fate now !) Let you know how I get on

Really struggling with this one now - any help would be really appreciated

Hi Guys (and gals !) Finally got around to trying to set up Live Services for Moodle but am having probs running the Powershell cmdlets. All seems ok but when I run the last one I get this error : Anyone got any ideas what's up ? Thanks

Thanks guys, you confirmed what I suspected but it's nice to get a second opinion before going ahead and changing things !

Hi all I've asked this question over at Moodle.org but got no answer so just wondered if anyone here can help. Just a couple of questions if anyone is using the Microsoft Live@EDU (or Office365 now) service and plug-in and Moodle: 1) Can you operate a mixed login environment ? i.e. have some users authenticating via Live@EDU and some using a normal Moodle login or does it have to be all one or the other ? I would have a few users (external teachers) who we wouldn't want or need to set up a mailbox for 2) MS Live services had major problems on Friday. Am I right in assuming these outtages affect Moodle logins if using the service ? Anyone any good/bad experiences on this aspect ? Many thanks

A PTLLS (Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector) course would be enough to get you started. Usually run in the evenings at your loacal Adult Education Centre and also usually subsidised.

I think I also failed on the freebie front (but was my first visit). Did get a SpireEducation mug and of course my Edugeek lanyard (cheers Tony). Failed to get a single usb memory stick ! Next year may have to plan for a 2 day visit one of which will be the freebie hunt !

Wish I'd spotted this

I need an Android app

OK, so I'm off to the wonderful world of BETT on Friday I remember I was told I must visit that Edugeek place and I've looked at the plan for others places to visit (hopefully plenty of freebies ) I have a sheet of paper printed out with a barcode (huh ????) I have read 100 tips - some of which I didn't understand Do I really need to take my own food (or take out a mortgage ?!) Should I take a laptop or too heavy to cart around ? Is there a help point if I get lost ? Might not head back until around 7.30pm from Waterloo - so what do I do for that early evening ? I see there's a teachmeet going on - anything else recommended ? Please help a complete nooooob !

Not sure yet as it will depend on cover available but hoping for the Friday as work will give me a paid day off and pay the train fare

Thanks for that. Yes, probably suitable for about Level 3 but not in-depth enough for second year HND at Level 5

Just to bring this one back from the graveyard Yes, I've registered and am putting together my portfolio for the CMALT cert.

Anyone got any suggestions for business strategy simulations ? I'm teaching HND (Level 5) Business Strategy next term and thought it might be a fun thing to run for the students (adults). There's a lot of US stuff when I Google but I was really looking for a recommendation.

Thanks guys - keep the suggestions coming !
