No publisher skamps Presentation 2007-10-04T15:07:35Z Event http://engl.iastate.edu/event_details/moodle_brown_bag.html We will be holding the first Moodle Brown Bag Lunch next Friday (January 19) at noon in the Studio for New Media (Ross 316). Bring your lunch and meet up with other faculty members, lecturers, and TAs who have been using Moodle in their classes. We have no set agenda for this event, and there will be no formal presentation to interrupt, so feel free to come and go as your schedule allows. In short, the Studio will be full of a bunch of us eating lunch and sharing tips for using Moodle in a range of English department courses, from first-year composition to graduate-level seminars. If this message, with its overuse of the term Moodle (which my spell-checker has now flagged nine times), has left you slightly bewildered, you can find out more at the English Department's Courses site: http://courses.engl.iastate.edu/ We hope to see you at the Brown Bag next Friday and on the new email list!
