Moodle is ready…

Another milestone of my preparation is complete. I have installed the Moodle Learning Management System on my virtual server and I have built out course sites on it for both of the classes I will teach this fall at the Mekane Yesus Seminary in Addis Ababa. All course materials will be available through the password-protected Moodle site and the LMS will be the means by which students will submit their written assignments. I am accustomed with teaching using an LMS and am pleased that I can offer this tool to the students.

Although both electricity and the internet are spotty in Ethiopia, I was able to test components of the server during my last visit to Ethiopia and it performed well, even on a mobile phone!

I am looking forward to working with the PhD students in my classes.
