I've learned a valuable lesson about Moodle - it works best on Internet Explorer. Not all of the editing tools are available when accessing Moodle from Safari or Chrome. I finally figured this out after a 10 minutes freak out session trying to figure out why Moodle looked different at home than it did at work.
As my project progresses I've discovered that I should have written my rubric differently. I wrote the rubric to say that I would write 8 training documents. That was a little short sighted. It's more important that I find the right documents and design them when needed. In some cases, another staff member may have designed something that works well or there may be some documents that the software vendor created. The most important thing is that it is clear and meaningful for the user.

lol. It's nice to hear someone else having a 'freak session'...I feel less lonely. Thanks for the heads up on that. When I'm at conferences, everyone seems to be using Moodle, but I don't know anyone personally that does. I figured it was going to be required at some point in my career, and going from Mac OS at work to IE8 at home, this is good to know. :)
Jenny,
I would love to talk with you concerning your Moodle experiences, perhaps when the dust settles from our work in this program. My plan is to use Moodle this year with all my students to keep everything in one spot while allowing 24 hour access to materials. I have used many other tools in the past, but it seems like Moodle will allow my students a comfortable CMS to find and post materials. With that said, Moodle hasn't blown my hair back to this point, mainly because my time has been spent on my project. Any advice you can give concerning Moodle would be greatly appreciated. :)
