Overview of this book

Many people will recognize Moodle as a Virtual Learning Environment that can be used in schools to teach lessons and organize student information.

By putting your H.R. documents, newsletters, discussions, and training documents all in one place, which is accessible from the office or from home, you are giving your employees all the information that they need to be productive and become integrated members of your company. This book will show you how to get your important business documents online, as well as the recruitment and training processes. You will learn how to move any existing processes to Moodle, as well as set up new ones that will have you wondering what you did before Moodle came along!

Time for action - creating a content conversion space


To start, we need a place to store the converted files. An Alfresco Space is the equivalent of a file folder on your desktop, but it can have attached rules and workflows. We need to create a Space in our user area to start the process and we'll need to use the Alfresco Explorer to set that up and create the rule.

  1. Login to the Alfresco Explorer interface. The URL for Explorer is: http://<Your Alfresco URL>/alfresco.

  2. Navigate to your user home space by clicking on My Home on the left hand side.

  3. Create a Space in your home folder by selecting the Create menu and selecting Create Space.

  4. Give your new Space a name. I like to use descriptive names like Word, PDF, and HTML.

  5. Next, provide a title for your space. The title will be displayed in the place of the name.

  6. Fill in the description field with a useful description.

  7. Select the icon you want to use for your space.

  8. Click on the Create Space button on the right.
