 Advantages:  Lecturers can co-develop and share assignments without having to share students or a grade book if applicable.  Students can be separated in groups and have access to their group only  We don’t have to create separate forums, for example.

 Like learning to drive a new car-same buttons in different places  Learning to use the grade book and creating tests are tricky, but this is because I am used to something else, not because Moodle is “hard”.  Moodle has more features – part of the challenge as an academic is determining how to use them
