1 Using Moodle for Ongoing Professional Development
Moodle in the Workplace

2 Two guiding principles
Keep it Simple Try to use core functionality whenever possible If you’re going to add custom functionality try to use the modular nature of Moodle to your advantage Someone has probably already tried it Most of the time, if you look at the forums, search blog posts, or really look through the plugins database you’ll find some example of what you’re trying to do.
