Summer Classes

It has been a while since my last post. I am busy with my two classes this summer, both BMAT2 (Math of Investment). I have been "operationalizing" what I have in mind as regards my teaching. In fact, I will be bringing my classes tomorrow to the eClassroom for their quizzes.

The items were originally encoded in OpenOffice.org Writer. I then created the Moodle "questions" in my laptop-based Moodle installation, doing mostly cutting and pasting between the two applications. I then exported the Moodle questions to the GIFT format, saved the file in my USB drive, and, once inside the campus, imported the GIFT file back into the College's Moodle system. Perfect!

And today, I was able to upgrade my office PC to Ubuntu Feisty Fawn and was rewarded with something I did not expect from an old machine -- I got Beryl running! I feel like showing the exciting effects to everyone :-) If you are in DLS-CSB, you can drop by the office for a visual treat. (Offer is good until May 15, 2007 only).
