RIF'ed teachers: MUGAtlanta will provide any Georgia teachers with free hosting for their Moodle courses while they are in transition. The courses may be used as demonstrations of their skills and may also be transferred to any school they eventually join. Contact the MUGAtlanta Admin for assistance.
Moodle Users Group Atlanta
This is a startup group in the formative stage.The purposes of this group are:
To allow members to share Moodle experiences and ideas.
To support the continuing development of the Moodle platform.
To assist new users in evaluating Moodle for their course management needs.
The group is informal, non-profit, with no dues or meeting fees required. We are an unofficial users group with no affiliation with Moodle.org or Moodle.com aside from liking and using the Moodle application. People interested in the Moodle application or in online learning in general are welcome to become involved.
When a critical mass of core users has been identified, we will begin having regularly scheduled meetings. Until then, anyone interested is encouraged to create an account on the site and enable their e-mail. This will ensure they receive e-mails with news of meetings and other developments.
Thanks, and we look forward to having you join our group.
Want to know more?
Create an account and you'll automatically be subscribed to the MUG Atlanta News Forum. News of upcoming events, learning opportunities and resources will be posted there. By modifying your account profile, you can elect to receive the posts in an e-mail, a digest, or not at all.
No commercial communications of any kind will be permitted in the forums and we will not sell, loan, donate or otherwise disclose any users account details to anyone. E-mail addresses will be used exclusively for the stated purposes of this users group and any user may unsubscribe or deactivate their e-mail at any time.

Interesting article in Chief Learning Officer Magazine about the CIA's first Chief Learning Officer.
What it doesn't tell you is that one of the first e-learning platforms they used was Moodle...
Gartner: E-learning Market Pushing Toward Open Source

Just ran across this interview with Gartner Research Director Marti Harris discussing the movement toward open source learning platforms - especially Moodle.
A .pdf version is attached, but you can find the original here.
Not surprising, but perhaps useful for anyone trying to break away from proprietary solutions...
MUGAtlanta.org/Mahara Integration
by Admin User - Friday, May 1, 2009, 05:24 PM
The MUGAtlanta.org Moodle site is now integrated with Mahara! (See www.mahara.org for more information.)
Mahara is the free, open-source "electronic portfolio" application that integrates with Moodle. It offers a number of features that can help make both teachers' and students' lives easier.
When integrated with Moodle, Mahara makes file & document sharing easy, so students can download assignments and upload homework with ease. Users can also store, retrieve, display or protect files and pages independently of their Moodle courses. This gives them the ability to build a portfolio over several semesters or years providing a level of continuity of use unavailable until now.
Mahara includes a number of useful, familiar tools:
File upload/download capability.
Granular access control regulated by each user for their own material.
The ability to display HTML, text, images, videos, and blogs.
Social networking tools such as "friend management", graffiti walls and messaging.
There is a brief, useful tutorial available for free at www.isaglobe.org/moodle/. Just log in as:
Username: student1 Password: 1student
When you're ready to try Mahara out on your own, just go to mugatlanta.org, log in, and click the MUG Mahara link in the Moodle Networks block on the main page. Mahara will automatically log you in and create an account for you.
Share your thoughts and experiences in the MUGAtlanta.org Discussion Forum and let us know if you have any trouble!
Thanks!
