Monday Moodle Recap - April 11, 2011

Today, we're beginning a weekly feature to recap news from the world of e-Learning, and specifically, Moodle. In light of this, you might ask yourself, "Why start a weekly news recap when there are Google Alerts, RSS feeds and other e-Learning news sites that do a perfectly good job of this?"

While the question is warranted, it's something we felt was necessary. Considering we try to promote and spread e-Learning and Moodle-related news via Twitter on a daily basis, no doubt, much of it can get lost in the shuffle of the Twitter-verse. This is just another way to get that news in a simpler and more direct format.

Does it work for you? Let us know what you think in the comments below, and check out last week's headlines in e-Learning and Moodle.
