Moodling


I love Moodle. I love its simplicity. I love that it's educationally oriented but applicable and easily modified to the outside world. It's free (sort of), by that I mean no ridiculous licensing fees.

That being said, let me vent... phoooooooooosh. I despise Internet Explorer. I'm a Macophile and I even hold strong dislike for Safari. I can't find any sites or applications that work "best" in either of these browsers. USE FIREFOX - it's better on both platforms. Moodle will work in both Safari and IE, but we have glitches in both. I recently encountered a Moodle problem that, yet again, is specific to IE. People were getting an error opening pdf's with IE (Acrobat Reader), but when you finish the error script window, you can click on the pdf in the breadcrumb trail and Acrobat Reader will THEN open it.

There's some php code glitch blahblahblah, if anyone read this blog, they wouldn't care. Just get something that works. I'm realizing that I'm spending a good chunk of my time dealing with Moodle issues, many of which are coming from IE. Please, if you are a tech support person, tech director, anyone in charge of deciding what programs go on network images - PUT FIREFOX ON THE DANG IMAGE.

End rant.
