Attention Nichole Saad,
I am using this list to bypass a technical problem. Apologies to the uninvolved
There seem to be technical problems with the Greenhouse course on Moodle
At
https://wikimedia-education.moodle.school/mod/forum/view.php?id=23 there is no way
apparent for me to open a thread to explain that there is no way to open a thread on the
forum specifically intended for asking general questions about navigating the unit. It
would be more amusing if it was not so frustrating. Thee does not appear to be any obvious
way to communicate with the course providers through the current setup of the course.
Cheers,
Peter Southwood

The Geneva (Switzerland) education department has been using Moodle for
years and is quite satisfied with the platform. A few films were produced
on the subject:
https://edu.ge.ch/site/archiprod/?s=DIP-Moodle
That been said, Moodle is great for online courses with a Classroom size
number of attendees. That is probably fine for us, I do not think that we
will have hundreds and hundreds of simultaneous participants. I do have not
any personal experience with a Moodle course addressing thousands of
attendees.
Best regards
Gabe

To follow-up what Federico Leva said, Wikimedia
Italia and Wikimedia CH
did an analysis to check the best platform for a MOOC.
Moodle is good for small classes and for well targeted trainings but
cannot be "massive" because its architecture is not to be massive.
Anyways Moodle comes with a lot of gadgets and plugins.
Kind regards

The current Greenhouse course is running on Moodle. Where can I get
more information on the use of Moodle by Wikimedia projects?
I was involved in developing Moodle content for Wikimedia UK in the
period
2012 to 2014. As the domain moodle.wikimedia.org.uk is currently
offline, there is nothing to show for this project right now. There is
some accumulated experience in the practical side of hosting Moodle.
