Additions to the VETSA Site
We had recently added the Book and Dimdim modules to the Moodle services.
The Book Module allows users to create multi-page resources in a book-like format, including chapters and sub-chapters. Further information can be obtained from the Moodle main site at: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Book
The Dimdim Activity is an open source web meeting tool (similar to Centra and Elluminate) which allows you to show Presentations, Applications and Desktops to another person over the internet. You can chat, show your webcam and talk with others in the meeting. For more information visit www.dimdim.com, or test out this activity with your colleagues and students.
Mahara e-Portfolio Application
We have also added Mahara as an externally linked application to the VETSA site. If you would like to be linked to this applicaion, contact VETSA Administration at admin@vetsa.net.au. For further information on Mahara visit www.mahara.org
2008 classrooms
TAFESA users setting up classrooms for 2008, please go to the new TAFESA Moodle website http://moodle.tafesa.edu.au/
A reminder that current TAFESA users will be moving to the TAFE SA site as soon as convenient. Do ensure that you have a backup of your course, if you think that you may require access to it at a future date.
Non-TAFE and TAFE users are still encouraged to use this site for trialling courses and experimenting with using Moodle.
Backing up your classrooms
While our VETSA site is regularly backed up, you should also look to backup your own course regularly. It is good practice to backup once you have set up your course, and also when you complete a course, or get set to enrol a new group of students.
You can backup the course within its own resource area, automatically creating a zip file which can be used to restore a course if required. You should also take a copy of your backup and store this on your own hard disk or shared drive as an archive of your own activity.
