OK, slap me around a bit for not following through yesterday.  Things got a bit hectic and too many folks wanted to chat, so here is the follow up to my presentation yesterday.  I showed a variety of different uses of Moodle and the questions were what modules did I use to accomplish those things.  Given those things, here is a list of the modules that are used to allow teachers to do things like podcasts and record audio directly into Moodle.

Additionally, you must change your Moodle configuration so that any of your multimedia files will automatically be embedded into your pages.  To do this you need to go to the "Site Administration" block and then go to: modules->filters->Manage Filters and then enable the Multimedia Plugins filter. You may then also want to enable the .swf filter so that swf files can be embedded automatically.  This is seen as a big security hole but for the most part we have not had any problems.

Embedding Web 2.0 tools into your Moodle pages

Many of the Web 2.0 tools generate code that you can add to Moodle pages.  This is easily done by copying the code from the tool and then pasting this into a Moodle page.  In order to paste into a new page you need to click on the <> symbol in the editor and go into the actual code editing mode and then paste the web 2.0 code into that window.  Save your page and you should be good to go.  If things don't work, you may have to go to your profile and turn off the html editor, go back to your page and re-paste the code and then save.  This should take care of the problem.  Just remember that if you go back to edit that page using the html editor, you will probably lose the embedded object yet again.

You can view a number of the sites that I showed by going to http://moodle.bainbridge.wednet.edu
