(openPR) - Moodle as a Curriculum and information Management System is a new book from Packt that helps users to manage and organize their administrative duties. Written by Jason Hallowell, this book teaches to set up an environment that enables users to disseminate information about their educational program.

Moodle is a free web application that educators can use to create effective online learning sites. It is designed to help educators create online courses with a focus on interaction and collaborative construction of content. Its open source license and modular design allows developers to create additional modules and features.

This book helps to transform a Moodle site into a system that allows managing information such as monitoring attendance records, managing the number of students enrolled for a particular course, and inter-department communication. It provides a forum for communication amongst all those involved in an institution, and even helps to control course registration and enrollment.

Users can create courses for all subjects using the Bulk Course Creation tool, and also enroll students in courses at the same time using a CSV file. The book teaches to design different roles, with different access capabilities for educational administrators, and with the help of plugins allow them to access student related information and data stored in the Moodle database.

Teachers interested in how Moodle can be used to streamline curriculum delivery and information flow in an institution will find this book to be an interesting and beneficial read. This book is out now and is available from Packt. For more information, please visit www.packtpub.com/moodle-as-a-curriculum-and-information-m...
