This fall, beginning September 20th, a small number of students will be attending their online course in Moodle instead of Blackboard.  Clark College eLearning will be piloting this new version of Moodle with extras, called Joule, which will be hosted by Moodlerooms.  For those who are not using Moodle Joule, you will still see it mentioned in our Twitter feed and, of course, here on Smart Penguin.  Joule will not seem unfamiliar for many students from the local school district who are used to using Moodle.  It may seem completely different for some, however, so we are busy preparing for our first Moodlers, or Joulers as it may be.   Stay tuned for updates as things develop and we contemplate the question, is this Joule a gem?!

Update:  Once you have an account you can test your Moodle Joule login access, but your classes may not be available until the first day of fall quarter, September 20th, 2010.

Be sure to file a Tech Ticket right away if…

• Your instructor has directed you to Moodle, but you don’t have login access.
• It’s after noon on the first day of fall classes, Monday September 20th, 2010, and you can’t find your class.
