Moodle for colleagues working in the library

I created a Moodle course/web with several items, including selective release, images in the blocks, RSS feeds.

I used selective release to enable participants decide which topics they wanted to see.  Also they needed to add a message to the forum and an item in the glossary to release more items.

I created a guide to give instructions for access and made the course a self-enrolment with a key.

I presented it today to 28 library colleagues. They all managed to access it and all did most of the activities.

I'm sure that they learnt more than just a demonstration.

News (RSS) feed block to Moodle

These instructions show you how to add a block that shows RSS feeds to Moodle:

My video and printable PDF "how to" guides.

You can also add an RSS feed to a twitter account too.  To do this, I referred to a separate blog which works. (Today) :)  Here is the solution:

For an account called xxxxx you can use the feed link:

http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=xxxxx

Put the name instead of the xxxxx

For example, for the user found at http://twitter.com/covcampus
I found that the following feed worked:

http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=covcampus

Not any more! See the separate blog plus update.
