Description

Moodle is the de facto standard for open source learning platforms. However, setting up and managing a learning environment can be a complex task since it covers a wide range of technical, organizational, and pedagogical topics. This ranges from basic user and course management, to configuring plugins and design elements, all the way to system settings, performance optimization, events frameworks, and so on. This book concentrates on basic tasks such as how to set up and configure Moodle and how to perform day-to-day administration activities, and progresses on to more advanced topics that show you how to customize and extend Moodle, manage courses, cohorts, and users, and how to work with roles and capabilities. You’ll learn to configure Moodle plugins and ensure your VLE conforms to pedagogical and technical requirements in your organization. You’ll then learn how to integrate the VLE via web services and network it with other sites, including Mahara, and extend your system via plugins and LTI. By the end of this book, you will be able to set up an efficient, fully fledged, and secure Moodle system.

Who is this book for?

Whether you are dealing with a small-scale local Moodle system or a large-scale multi-site Virtual Learning Environment, this book will assist you with any administrative task. Some basic Moodle knowledge is helpful, but not essential.

I have administered Moodle servers since 2016 starting with v. 2.8. The previous edition of the book helped me learn the ropes. In October I launched a new set of e-courses on v. 3.7 f. Time for a new book! The book covers all aspects of Moodle administration. As Moodle is a mighty environment the book has to do some heavy liftting. It states all that you need to now but without going into excessive detail. All of this combined with sound advice, e.g. on which plugins you should choose (e.g. Collapsible Topics, Attendance) and which considerations should keep you from using a plugin. Highly recommended.

It is a great book. It is a "must" have for Moodle administrators.

I would get the online version..I say this because the book is poorly indexed and very difficult to use as a reference when you need to look up something. If you have the kindle version, you can use kindle tools to do word searches and find what you are looking for. This is the second book of this series i have purchased (one was for an older version) and I find that while there is good information in this, it is not particularly written with any sort of logical order. It does not break the chapters down into what I would consider logical next or related points.It is, however, pretty much the only game in town.
