Keynote: Bag it and Tag it - Julian Ridden ‘The Moodle-man’, moodle.org

Julian's presented lots of practical examples

  1. Database tool e.g.,
    1. Study notes database: For students to contribute study notes (in order to access the next part of the course) - can then use search tool esp. advanced search
    2. Book review database
    3. Lost property database
    4. GIS database - location and links through to Google Maps
    5. Weblinks database
  2. Glossary
    1. Usually text-based, but can also include audio (e.g., pronunciation) or video (students can upload)
    2. Can be used for autolinks
    3. Can get RSS feed from glossay
    4. "UC uses glossary & random glossary block for announcements and system messages"
    5. The (older) glossary module is actually just a special case of the database module and totally redundant.
  3. Podcasting
    1. Can use forums (they are podcast enabled)
