Lesson #1: Useful Blended learning system (based on Moodle) is better than (roll your own) web site Easier to use Has more features; administrative and management
Lesson #2: Need more practice Some misconfigurations Students can change answers during quiz/tests Archiving How to use old files for new class How to hide old classes from new students; make it uncluttered
Lesson #3: Need support Need assistants Technical support To mark assignments To generate reports To do analysis To do tutorials Technical support For technical issues
Lesson #4: Capacity Planning Server crashed during test Too many students? (At that time around 120 students) Server shared with other services Must perform capacity planning Large number of students Need comittment from top management Infrastructure Support
Summary Blended learning system is a very useful platform Improvements But not optimized yet Improvements Need more practice to use it Technical details / configs / reports / archiving Need assistants Capacity planning
