Moodle Courses
From SystemsWiki
An effort has been undertaken to weave appropriate pieces of SystemWiki content into online courses relating to Systems Thinking, Modeling and Simulation. Moodle is being used for course development, and from the experience associated with creating the first course it is evident that course development is quite an undertaking. Quite an undertaking not because Moodle is difficult to use, there is just a lot of definition involved in the process. Progress will be posted here and on the SystemsWiki.org Blog. Please provide questions and feedback to Gene Bellinger.
[edit] General Course Information
- All courses will be open for visiting as a Guest. Note that as a Guest you will be able to see all the material, and answer questions and interact on the forum though the system will not keep test scores.
- Registration is open though requires email validation. Once you register on the system you will be sent an email with a link which you must visit to complete your registration. If you don't see the email message shortly after registering please look in your spam/junk email folder. Sometimes they end up there. If the email is not there, please send me an email at phoenix@systemswiki.org and I will manually confirm your registration and send you an email.
- Once logged into Moodle if you wish to actually take a course you have to register for it. Courses are open for registration unless they are in a state of developmental disarray. Note that logging into Moodle is not the same as logging into SystemsWiki.org. They are two separate systems.
- Please note that the reading material for each course is actually in SystemsWiki itself, so while you may be logged into the course, while reading a web page it will tell you you're not logged in, meaning you're not logged into SystemsWiki. You would only have to be logged into SystemsWiki if you are going to edit it, so don't be concerned about the login message in the upper right hand corner of every page.
- For each lesson there are one or more web pages linked for reading followed by one or more questions. While the web pages are highly interlinked you are not required, or expected, to read any of the pages linked to the initial page presented for reading. You may read additional links as you wish though I didn't want you to be overwhelmed by what you might view as required reading.
