Image guide from TASI

I came across a really useful site the other day from the Technical Advisory Service for Images, it includes sections on creating and finding images, vector and animated graphics, images and copyright plus some comprehensive guides for using images in different VLE’s including Moodle. Just Click here to take a look, I think you will its worth a bookmark.

Lesson plans with added value

With the use of Moodle expanding across the college, the question of standardising the appearance and content of the various courses calls for a solution. In a meeting last week I picked up some actions points to 1: make recommendations for a standard template and 2: re-design lesson plans to make them compatible with Moodle. At the moment lesson plans are written in Word, with content spread around a complex landscape table structure. After meeting with curriculum development, we agreed on a portrait layout, with all relevant student information grouped into rows, that can be copied and pasted in one go from Word to Moodle. My plan then is get students to build glossaries, so we have links to the keywords and terms in the lessons plans, should hopefully add some value.
