We started to discuss moodle and the benefits of using this service during our last CAI class. In Keith Underwood's flute rep class we utilized moodle as an experiment to see if it was useful to us. I liked that moodle supported videos, audio, and images as well as being a great place to post information concerning the class, private lessons, and flute playing in general; however, like most communities, if members don't keep it running, the community doesn't grow. You can visit Keith's site here here.
I have been thinking about utilizing moodle in some format for my private studio. For my website for the last tech class I had an area on my site that offered flute information, so I think this might be the next thing to work on.
The school that I attended for my two undergrad degrees (The College of New Jersey-the school where Freshman John Fiocco was last seen...he's been missing and there are posters all over midtown Manhattan) had a program called SOCS, or Simple Online Courseware System. This is a lot like Blackboard. It is a web based application makes the the communication between student and teacher easier and more organized. I wonder if it will continue to thrive on the campus since moodle is making such an impact everywhere else.
