Following on from Matt Lingard’s Twitter eye view of  Grainne Conole’s keynote this morning at Moodlemoot 2011, I will be entirely unoriginal and try to do an abbreviated version of  the subsequent twitterstream from a limited and highly selective perspective.

I note much excitement and interest plus a few cautionary notes  in relation to University of Kent’s WebCT/Moodle migration tool documented here I believe http://t.co/p1dkxP8 (sorry no time to check this out).

There has been interest too in MMU’s migration to Moodle with a link to their staff blogs http://lrt.mmu.ac.uk/staff-blogs/ I am still hoping for a corrected link to the LT review page – now supplied see comments on main blog.

Another highlight for me (I don’t get out much) has been the link to the very useful looking  Screensteps tool for ‘Screen capture, image editing and document authoring in a single application’. Will be taking advantage of the 14day free trial.

And this post would not be complete without a reference to the  ’squirrel of death’ – Moodle’s answer to the Blackboard ‘rabbit warren’ of nested folders.  This hitherto unknown creature first made an appearance at the M25LT group a few weeks ago but I think we haven’t seen the last of her/him/it.

That’s me for Moodlemoot 2011 today – I hope my colleagues and twitter friends will continue to keep me posted.
