[Courses] [Postgresql] More notes on Moodle.

[Michelle Murrain]

Hi all,

I just wanted to talk a bit about what's up with Moodle right now, since 
some folks seem to be struggling with it.

First off, if you want to use Moodle, you need to create an account on 
linuxchix.org.

There is still the single sign on bug with Drupal and Moodle, so that 
some people can't login at all. So if you can't log in, it's a bug, it's 
not you. Most people can, but sometimes you need to go back to 
linxchix.org, log out, log back in, and navigate back to 
courses.linuxchix.org to be allowed into Moodle.

I don't know whether this bug will get fixed, or when, or how. So I 
apologize.

I'm posting all lessons and assignments both on the email list and on 
Moodle, and you can submit your assignments via the list, or via moodle. 
I'm reading assigments and questions on both. Up to you. (Each week, I 
will at least ask everyone to write about *something* whether it is a 
distinct answer to a question, or just a "this is how it went" few 
sentences. Of course, you can do this, or not, as you'd like.)

I'd like to encourage as many people as possible to use Moodle because:
1) You learn the platform
2) I learn the platform :-)
3) Linuxchix gets the experience of how one of our courses goes on Moodle.

That said, using Moodle isn't required for this course.

Peace,
Michelle
