Using a HTML block in QMplus to enable staff to access their emails. I added a block to: http://qmplus.qmul.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=3117 and put the link: http://webmail.qmul.ac.uk into the block. Because people are authenticated on log-in to QMplus they can access their emails directly without having logging in again.
Gill from the ELU created an online resouce which looks at the benefits of upgrading to Moodle 2.4: http://www.scoop.it/t/what-will-moodle-2-4-get-us. This was shown at a recent Learning Technologists Group meeting and is a good starting point for anyone interested in the Moodle upgrade.
I am looking forward to a potential visit GdaĆsk University of Technology in June. This would be a great opportunity to share ideas, deliver some e-Learning training to Polish tutors and look at the possible future joint funded European projects.
