Summary
In this chapter, we've focused on making sure that everything on our course page displays properly for our students. We've also helped a new Moodler ensure that her teaching materials are easily accessible. We have provided a link on our course page to LibreOffice —a free alternative to MS Office—for students such as Joe, who don't have Microsoft Office Word at home. We used LibreOffice's PDF conversion facility to change documents into a format that anyone can easily read. After that, we downloaded and used iSpring, a free program that converts slideshows to a format that the children can view without difficulty on their computers. We also downloaded an image resizing and editing program, IrfanView, to help colleague Liz display her photos better on Moodle. Then we learned how to get YouTube videos onto Moodle, even though the site is not allowed in our school. Finally, we investigated potential problems with viewing Moodle activities on Apple devices such as iPads.
We can be happy...
