The Moodle Journal chronicles using podcasts, streaming, downloads, training, metadata, scorm, lessons, quizzes, forums, chat, journals, LAMS, Mahara and assignments in the deployment of the Moodle vle as part of our e-learning programme here at College.
Just looking around the net today I find what I believe is the first book on Moodle, from O'Reilly Publishing. The example chapter certainly looks encouraging. If you want to take a look at the webpage Click here

I've just ordered a copy from Amazon and will let you know what I think of it when it arrives :-)
You have a great Blog. I would love to link to you. My readers would find your posts very interesting. Just submit it to my site at BlogIntroduction.com
The book arrived from Amazon this morning. It cost £19.95 and has about 215 pages. On first inspection it is clearly written and easy to follow, with plenty of screen shots. It is primarily a user guide for teaching staff, which explains how to use the various features of Moodle. It also includes comments based on the author's experience of using Moodle's features in the classroom.
