LIS Links

First and Largest Academic Social Network of LIS Professionals in India

Our university wants to host Moodle to launch a few online Diploma and Certificate courses. The site should be able to handle 10,000 registered users. 100 of them may be concurrently logged in at a time. We need 15 GB server space and 200 GB bandwidth. We also need support for the Moodle customization and online support to the administrator 24 X 7.

If any person or institution is already using the Moodle software in the same way we want to use then please let me know. We will also be glad to hear the personal experiences of people from India associated with the Moodle software over this forum page.

We also need detail of the companies who host Moodle software in India and the costing associated with domain, hosting, bandwidth, online support, cost involved in converting a document to SCORM and other parameters.

Hi Badan,

Commendable initiativeThumbs up. You might find http://moodleofindia.com/ useful, if you are still exploring ...

I have been using Moodle (1.9.7 version) since 2010 and enjoyed designing and developing courses on Moodle. 

The features I love in Moodle are:

  1. uploading and embedding multimedia content using resource modules
  2. book module (resource)
  3. label (resource) - for structuring content; can also be used to embed video on course page.
  4. composing a webpage (resource) 
  5. discussion forums (activity)
  6. uploading assignments (activity) - go green initiative for Distance Learning Programs
  7. quiz or HotPotatoes for formative assessment
  8. journal (activity) for reflective learning
  9. glossary (activity)
  10. database (activity)
  11. chat (activity)
  12. choice (activity)
  13. wiki (activity)

We can use Moodle Activities for engaging learners. BTW, could you tell me what are the courses your are planning to offer in online/blended mode?

I sincerely advise you to start with application-oriented/skill development courses such as Information Literacy, Koha, digital libraries, Moodle for Teachers etc. 

You can contact me for further guidance, if required.
