On-Line Course Management
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I have been working with a course management system this semester. I wanted to add an on-line component to my classes, so I installed Moodle on my server. Although I do not teach classes through this software (I value the face to face interaction with my students), I have used it to point students to ANE texts, to provide them with additional documents, and to give them easy access to the syllabus and other resources. I am also using it to give quizzes, which frees up time in class for other matters.
If you would like to check out what I am doing, you may visit via a guest account. Just go to the site, click on ‘login’ in the upper right hand corner, and then click on the guest access button. There are several courses being offered there, but guest access will allow you to visit only my Intro to Bible I course. When you click on that course, you will be asked for an enrollment key. The key is biblioblog.
I would appreciate any feedback my readers could give, especially if you have used course management systems before. This is my first semester using it, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Kevin,
I think your site is very user friendly and yet also scholastic. I think that this is the wave of the future. Your students should count themselves blessed to have such a good up-to-date instructor.
