Gradebook software

[Lucy MacDonald]

I am interested in setting up a course in Moodle, but do I need a separate server for this? Can't I just add Moodle to my own web server or does it need to be partitioned?

Until our WebCT server and interconnect with Banner becomes more stable, the Ed department is doing classes outside of this shell, using web pages and webboard.

I have some time Spring term to play in the Multimedia Sandbox and thought that I might explore Moodle.

This isn't really a Revolution issue, but since you asked, I have been 
using Moodle for over a year and really like it.  I recently set up a 
second Moodle server and modified it for large project management 
rather than course management.  For my course server I found a grade 
book block that I have added that has really helped in that respect.  I 
still use Revolution stacks for several student projects that are 
evaluated via Moodle as they can both access the same SQL database.
 From your comment, I'm curious, do you feel the  campus IT or college 
IT to be a positive or negative factor for your development and 
teaching?  I am often frustrated by the attitude that they set the 
conditions for faculty rather than adapting and trying to give them 
what they really want and need to teach effectively.  It is frustrating 
to try to introduce resources such as Revolution as they only want to 
deal with the most common, popular software.  I have a part-time GA and 
we maintain our Moodle servers, Web servers, video servers, & FTP 
servers  just fine as long as they don't interfere and keep the proper 
ports open.
