Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book aims to help teachers who have never used Moodle before, to start getting some of there teaching material online; and then to enhance them using multimedia; and then, perhaps, to start using more of Moodle's activities.
I think Ian Wild does this very well. The book is well written and well paced. The style is engaging, and the range and order of Moodle features covered is well thought out. Ian shows, by examples taken from one of his courses, why and how you might want to use the features in your course.
There are some things I would quibble with. For example Ian insists on opening all links in new windows, which is just wrong (it's Number 9 in this list of web usability mistakes:[...]). However, these do little to detract from the book's goals. Altogether, I think that this is a very useful addition to the library of Moodle books.
I should note that I am a developer, and therefore nowhere near the book's target audience. I would like to read opinions from the people the book is aimed at.

This book provides the quickest way for teachers and trainers to get up and running with Moodle, by turning their familiar teaching materials into a Moodle e-learning course. This book is for teachers, tutors, and lecturers who already have a large body of teaching material and want to use Moodle to enhance their courses, rather than developing brand new ones. You won't need experience with Moodle, but will need teacher access to a ready installed Moodle site. Teachers with some experience of Moodle, who want to focus on incorporating existing course materials will also find this book very useful.
