Job with no name: Day 15: Guiding for Parents

GCUS Guides

Very simple. Maybe the length of my blog posts are inversely proportional to the amount of work I get done each day :)

Moodle is a course management system, not a content management system . As such we are are always investigating better ways to use it as our main school website. Our reasoning being:

  1. Only one site to manage users for
  2. Only one site for users to become familiar with
  3. Only one site for me to worry about/screw up

The latest idea is for 3 guides (Moodle calls them glossary), where we will store useful information. The advantage of suing a glossary, ratehr than making individual resources is that the glossary will index and categiorise them making the organisation simpler.

To this end, I’ve created two guides and trained two members of staff to add content. One guide for our sixth form students and one for parents and students in years 9 to 11. Coming soon, hopefully, is a guide for staff.

These guides should prove to be

  • East to add to
  • Easy to organise
  • Easy to locate content within

Deteriorating rapidly, my senetence structure is. Must be time to go!
