Hey all. Does your institution have set guidelines/consent forms for the use of images of under 18s in promotional materials such as the school website?

Hi welcome to the club

One thing to remember, it can be done for free with a bit of work Create your mp3 in audacity which is free Create the RSS with somthing like http://www.easypodcast.com/ Then upload the rss feed to a server with the mp3s and give people the link eg http://myserver.com/pod.xml and to be super clever also give itpc: / / itpc://myserver.com/pod.xml to automatically open it in itunes

Git

We have started playing with podcasts in blackboard. It is very easy to do on a mac using garage band. Or just use audacity to create the mp3 and then create the rss by hand. The thing with a podcast is it is only a podcast if it can be subscribed to via an rss feed. Otherwise it is just an MP3 you can download.

So you have paid for someone to make a moodle theme? I don't get it. I am a professional web designer. I have to be honest and I don't think this represents you as a school very well. I just don't get it sorry.

He bud, any updates?

Yep first class, been using it for years!!!

My job description involves html, asp, asp.net, vb.net, sql and few other bits like training teachers on its usage. Will dig it out for you if I can find it!!! AD is a good option, now that we have out server inside the domain (!?) we will be able to tie it all together a bit, but doing each course doesnt work for us as so many courses have shared units!!

Hi all. I am a VLE coordinator. My role involves looking after the enrollments, the course set up and the maintainance of a Blackboard 7 installation. For this I need a reasonable knowledge of SQL server, a bit if IIS and server stuff and some web development to understand how things are working (or not) We have around 6000 students with about 100 fully active courses on the VLE. I would expect to ask for 22k onwards. If you are looking at moodle you will need somone with good web skills, such as PHP and MySQL. For 1000 students you will need maybe a .5 style amount of time to manage it. Just day to day stuff like changing passwords, setting up new courses enrolling users etc. As for developing materials and liasing, we have a couple of people in our team. An elearning manager, a full time web deve and me as the VLE and web dev person. Lots to think about there!!!

mmm this looks good. Will test this out

so if i try to go to the webdav folder it will ask me for a login then?

ok i will look into that only problem i have is that my authentication agains AD is done in asp, so I may not be able to acces teh folders lol

Can i do that for folders that are not on a webserver?

Hi there, is there a way that I can make student folders available externally, Somone once mentioned sharepoint to me?

I wrote a small faq on XHTML, may be handy It is just a tidy way to code html. Splits data and structure from formatting, making it easier to update and more accessible, which is the big key word int education at the moment! Check it out, may be helpfull http://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=3903

not a massive fan of drupal, seemed really strange to use lol

Yeah looked at that, may download it and have a nother go with it

mm trying to avoid the in house solution. Open source!!!

Hi there all. Do any of you guys have ePortfolios set up for your students. If so, what are you using to provide the service? Cheers

THe server that has the site on is windows 2003 with IIS6 This is the externally accessible server that will need a login box to pop up The server that is internal is Windows 2000 with IIS5 and is the server that needs to authenticate against the domain, that will let staff group members in without a login.

Yeah uninstall was fun, blue screened XP Pro!!! When i rebooted it was gone and IE6 was back (all beit not working quite right) Nice one Microsoft lol

Ok some clarification. This is a server that is purely a web server and is not connected to our internal domain in any way, so I cant directly apply the internal authentication to it (we not to authenticate against the AD) I have heard mention of SSL with LDAP, but am not sure how I go about setting up LDAP on our AD.

We have a server that is externally accessible. The intranet has a user database associated to it (that is different from our main user ad) That works fine. We then need an internal authentication via AD that will take us to the external server. This doesnt work! How do you lot deal with staff authenticated externaly available sites?
