+==What is MOOCH?==
-Mooch is the Moodle.org hub. Many Moodle sites register to Mooch. They can publish courses for download or list them as enrollable.
+MOOCH is the Moodle.org Open Community Hub - http://hub.moodle.org - a directory of courses for download or to enrol in.
-With [http://hub.moodle.org Mooch], you can search for courses:
+==How do we get onto MOOCH?==
-* to study a new domain
-* to participate to a community
-* to download and install on your Moodle site
-Unfortunately, as you will note if you visit MOOCH, there is often no way to know whether the courses available will work in your Moodle,  because you can't import a Moodle 2.0 course into a 1.9 Moodle, and vice versa which makes the MOOCH, well, less than useful for for many people.
