Moodle has emerged as one of the most visible brands for creating and managing e-learning content online. As one of the few packages built on open-source software, it also enjoys a certain cachet among the digerati.

But as with all open-source software, there are trade-offs to using Moodle — the main one being the amount of programming work required to adapt it to your needs and maintain it over time. Every time you want to add a new feature to your lesson, you add that much more complexity and need for programmers. For small organizations, this alone can make Moodle cost-prohibitive.

When you’re working online and you access a text heavy web-page that scrolls for 5 pages, what is your initial reaction? To most of us, a text-heavy page filled with a long list of resources and activities is not inviting or enticing. The same is true for students and online courses. But with a little sleight of hand, plus use of the right resource formats and labels, you can design an aesthetically pleasing online course and avoid the long scrolling webpage syndrome.

Stumbled across this huge repository of video screencasts on Screenr.com last week and just had to share them.  Shawn Brandt (@sbrandt) created them all and out of the nearly 80 videos he’s posted about 1/2 are all about Moodle.

The topics range from beginner to more advanced and most videos are under 5 minutes.  Note that many appear to pertain directly to a Moodle training course that is not available publicly.  But that doesn’t detract from the great ideas and processes outlined in the videos.  They include (but are not limited to),

It was back in 2003 when I placed myself in the open-source community. As a web developer myself, I find Open Source concept intriguing and suits the current open society. Not only that it saves a lot of money (from buying commercial software), it also promotes constant development of a software without the limits of a specific software company or entity.
