New site development - www.chqm8.com

As I've now moved on from the old school I decided to start a new site, upon which to launch my latest e-learning development work.

Lessons learned from the last site include

1. Need to keep a tighter rein on enrollments, perhaps having "windows" within which pupils can enroll. I'm not sure if it's purely an issue with moodle 1.8 but after all main enrolments were done I would regularly find spammers signed up with all sorts of porno names. Obviously this is a danger and so needs to be regulated on this roll-out.
2. I don't think that I realised the potential of mashing up packages within moodle
   
   
   
   
   
   There's clearly a lot of potential for extending range of activities here, but the issue is in the integration of sign-on and ensuring protection of pupil data in the process
   


3. I used stuff "straight out the box". This roll-out will see me working on greater customisation and more interactive plugins.

The new version of the site is a fresh start and is version 1.9.2

I've so far added the podcast plug-in and am looking to integrate mahara for the portfolio and drupal for the front-end.
