Welcome to the cutting-edge of Moodle 
- This primary purpose of this site is to have a single location that demonstrates many of the things that are possible with non-standard blocks, modules, filters and plugins in Moodle. On this page you can see a Clock, a Poll, visitor Statistics, a Birthdays block, the ActiveUsers block, and a Lightbox Gallery. Please read How to use this site first.

This is the course you should enrol in
The other courses are metacourses - therefore when you enrol in this course you will automatically be enrolled in the others. Please note that this is not immediate. It could take at least half an hour to update your enrolment details (you can use Guest access until this time). The Accessibility Block adds a set of buttons, like those seen on a lot of websites, to provide accessibility options (e.g. quick control of text size and colours). The objective of the ActiveUsers block is to promote/motivate usage of the LMS. The Administration Alert Block about things that could be wrong in a Moodle site.

The Contact Form Block allows the student to email the Teacher of a course (if there are multiple Teachers the Student can select which Teacher).

I like to call this course "an evolving using Moodle in Business space" (!) - where I am exploring and demonstrating ways to enhance and extend Moodle for use in commercial settings - using non-standard Modules, Blocks, Filters, and other add-ins.
