Moodle is not only used by schools, colleges and universities around the world - an increasing number of healthcare organisations are putting it to good use too!
The Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust in south east London, UK, has been using Moodle for two years. Their site now has almost 200 courses and over 3,000 active users.
According to Jeff Burge, Learning & Development lead for Oxleas, "We manage all of our statutory and mandatory training, Continuing Professional Development and e-learning with Moodle, and it has been a huge success for us."
"As a public body our performance is measured by, amongst other things, our achievement against certain governance standards. The NHS Litigation Authority awarded us a full score for our Level 2 assessment in January of this year, and also highly commended our systems, helped in no small part by our utilisation of Moodle."
For further details of Oxleas' success story, and for more experiences of Moodle in healthcare, please see the discussion Moodle in healthcare in the Moodle stories forum.
All courses entered in the competition are available under a Creative Commons license and can currently be downloaded from the competition entries database. The courses will be included in the moodle.org community hub in Moodle 2.0.
A big thank you to everyone who helps provide 24-hour Moodle support by answering questions in the moodle.org forums. A special thank you to our particularly helpful Moodlers, of which there are now over a hundred!
Particularly helpful Moodlers are people who have written a lot of useful forum posts, as determined by the Moodle community when they rate posts.
As you all know, moodle.org aims to be a friendly and welcoming place where people can get help with and learn about Moodle, and contribute to making Moodle even better. In the interests of maintaining a productive learning environment and for the benefit of newcomers (several hundred each day according to the Moodle statistics), we now have a Moodle.org forums Code of Conduct.
