I don't know WebCT, apart from by reputation, but FWIW, you can add grades for external items to the Moodle gradebook, using the 'assignment' activity, and I believe there are developments to the Moodle gradebook in progress which will allow overriding of calculated grades from quizzes etc. I'm surprised you see Moodle as more of a delivery tool, since its social constructionist grounding would suggest the learner focus you're after, and activities such as Glossaries, Workshops (which allow peer assessment) and Wikis provide for this, as of course do the ubiquitous discussion forums. To return to the original topic of the pose, I'd be surprised if tech support of Moodle requires much in addition to that needed for the underlying technologies of MySQL (or whatever), Apache and PHP, which you may well have in place already, unless that is you're brave enough to run with the CVS development builds. -- Miles Berry Deputy Head St Ives School Haslemere www.stiveshaslemere.com ***************** List information: ***************** Remember - replies go by default to the entire list.
