Best of Moodle 2

First presented today to the Engineers.  Decided to present as a Mahara page, plus a Moodle bit for the Realtime quiz and for the demo parts. The PowerPoint was a set of images.  The images' text didn't come out as expected (they were exported as GIF, I exported them again, this time to JPG and they're fine now).


Getting into putting a TinyURL for the page and a QR code for reference too. Paper-free resources!

The presentation plus resources.
