New Moodle (or Noodle if you will)

One of my colleagues has just talked to me about setting up a new Student Association.  She had in mind a website that, for a small fee, would allow users access to various forums, resources and job notices.  Sounds like a Moodle to me.

So I'm going to blog about this Moodle from the beginning like I should have done with the other one.  For anyone who has read my previous posts this Moodle will be referred to as the Student Association and the other one will be called The Training Portal (even though its name hasn't been decided yet).

Also, boss wants some kind of portfolio system set up alongside the training site so I'm looking into Mahara.  I think I'm going to try and set it up so users of the student site can begin a portfolio which they can keep using once they (hopefully) begin their careers and use our training programmes.  We could also offer a digital membership card to the student association that could remain in their portfolio as a kind of status.

I've had the IT man set up a new Moodle but it's just occurred to me the Student Association could just exist as a course within the training Moodle.
