Moodle tip: bringing in an outside webpage

I have just learnt another cool little Moodle trick from Stephen Digby (thanks Stephen!). You can bring in a website from outside your Moodle and have it display in an active frame. You just have to encolse the URL in a little HTML. e.g.:
iframe width="800"height="600"src=http://(insert your webaddress here)/"></iframe

So when you look at your HTML it will look appear like:
iframe width="800"height="600"src=http://http://allinbitsandpieces.blogspot.com/"></iframe

Try it in your moodle space (this blog doesn't recognise the html) and let me know how you go or if you have another moodle tip to share.

Reflecting on 2008, looking forward to 2009

E-learning Insights Vox Pops Group 

As we gear up towards a very full and busy 2009, why not reflect on the year that was? Strap on a headset with mic, and log into edna and visit the VoxPops Group to answer the question:

What were some of the powerful lessons you've learned this year regarding what technology can do to support both teachers and learners?
AND/OR
Looking forward to 2009, what do you hope to learn and achieve?


Don't forget to introduce yourself by name, location and role so we can all get to know each other a little better. After that's what it is all about isn't it?

Make sure you get in there by the 27th of January 2009 because the finished podcast will be published on the 30th of January 2009. Also make sure that your message is no longer than 2 minutes.

If you have dificulties leaving a voice message, visit the group to find out about other ways to have your say.

We look forward to hearing from you!

edna Groups upgrade

PLEASE NOTE: edna Groups Upgrade and Outage 12th & 13th September 08
On Saturday 12th September edna Groups will undergo an upgrade. Owners and users of edna groups can expect a site outage until Sunday afternoon. 

During this time it may be possible to access your Group, but unlikely that you will be able to contribute to forums etc.

This upgrade applies to all 1500 groups which currently accommodate 20,000 members. At the end of the process we will have upgraded to Moodle 1.9.1

We apologise for any inconvenience that this might cause, but are excited about the opportunities the upgrade will allow.   

If, after the upgrade, you experience difficulties, please email
groups@edna.edu.au , or contact the Professional Learning and Online Communities team at edna on (08) 8334 3210 and ask for Lynley Clark, Kerry Johnson or myself.
