Since I have never taught onlne, this course was like an unplowed field for me, so it was time to hitch up my mule and start plowing. The entire unit from building the roadmap to creating, testing and implementing the modules and to the learning-objects database was all fascinating. In my particular arena, the probability of using online instruction is zero, but the information is still valuable. As a learning system, "Moodle" was a totally alien term until recently. Now I want to dig into it. Education, I believe, is an ever evolving, growing organism. The idea of chunking within modules allows the instructor unplug outdated chunks and plug new chunks into place. Most important to me was creating the database with files in which to store these usable chunks until the ploper time to pull them out and implement them.
