Moodle for E Managemetn of Courses
by K Rajasekharan 07 Nov '09

07 Nov '09

Dear All, It is nice that E Learning application has been launched in Gulbarga University with the help of some applications dveloped by TCS. Academic libraries interested in launching similar virtual learning courses can use Moodle software for develop e learning courses and make them available to the students with the help of faculty for content creation. Moodle, by now, has emerged as a good e-educational software. It can be installed with Apache, MySQL and PHP (AMP)configured properly. As configuration is a bit tricky, pre configured software XAMPP, or WaMP Server or EasyPHP can be used in lieu of AMP in an intranet site. In most of the web servers, these triads are already installed and can be used without any hassles. Creating courses in Moodle is very easy, once we learn the proper sequence in creating courses. Librarians need to learn more about the use of Learning Management System like Moodle to serve the users better. Good documentation like the book, titled Using Moodle, is available for self- learning.
