I found this great blog post and screencast from Mary Cooch on her Moodle Blog explaining a new Nanogong assignment.

Similar to the “upload a single file” type where students can browse and send you their work for marking , the nanogong assignment presents them with a little sound recorder into which they can record themselves , play back to check and then send to you. read more

I just wanted to post a quick link to her post and screecast. This looks like a great module that I know the teachers in our district would use! I hope to test this out soon and possibly add it to our Moodle site if I get some time for it. Thanks Mary!

Read the full post and watch the screencast explaining how to install and use it.

Recently I’ve been helping out with getting our district’s Moodle-Google SSO fully working. It had been working but we ran into a few issues. I think we have solved our problem…we’ll see tomorrow! I plan to write a complete blog post about our situation and how we were able to get it working which will hopefully help others out there in the same situation. We’re using Ubuntu 8.0.4, Moodle 1.9.1+ and the LDAP Authentication.

Just a quick reminder about the awesome resource, WeFollow (for Moodle). It’s a ranked list of Moodle Twitter users (people who have added the moodle tag to themselves when joining). There are currently 120 users on the list and you can also add yourself to the list.

Twitter is a great resource to network with other Moodlers and ask questions, learn about resources, get news and share things yourself! There are many awesome Moodlers using Twitter that are very helpful.

@moodle is the official Moodle.org Twitter handle. Tweets consists of Moodle news and helpful forum post links

@moodler is the man himself, Martin Dougiamas

Check out the main WeFollow site or take a look at the Moodle WeFollow list.
