1.9.2 +
2. What add-ons do you have installed?
Curvy Corners Theme, CourseUploader, Podcasting Module....
3. How are you currently using it within your school?
We essentially use it as our intranet and LMS. Many clubs, athletic
teams, and committees have courses set up on Moodle. Important
announcements and other useful info is posted to the main page. We are
working on a Moodle course that will serve as Self Help Tech Support
with flash tutorials. Every class we offer also has a corresponding
Moodle course.
4. What requirements do you have for its use?
We have been running Moodle for about 6 years. This is the first year
we have required all faculty to use it. The minimum requirement is that
a course description and syllabus be posted for each course. Most have
gone beyond the minimum.
5. Do you allow outside access (parents/public)?
We allow outside access to the main page but no further.
6. What is your Moodle server running on?
Windows 2003 Server running IIS
7. Do you host it yourself or do you have it outsourced?
Host it ourselves.
8. Do you handle support
We deal with support in house. There really isn't much support needed
if it is on a reliable system and the software is properly installed.
On occasion a database table gets corrupted but that is almost always
easily fixed with: mysqlcheck -u moodleuser -p --auto-repair moodle
