Enhancing e learning content by integrating Moodle with other open source educational software

Introduction
A number of teachers/trainers are not aware that there is a lot of knowledge that with other people  they can use out to teach a number of disciplines. The teachers having been trained and  brought up   in a very capitalistic  and competitive environment they strongly adhere to the maxim- everybody for himself and God for all of us.So teachers struggle to develop content and ensure that they are restricted to his/her institution and at worse to his/her students.

After this wiki educator course i have seen the light, i realize knowledge shared  is more sustainable and scalable. It is for this reason that i am inspired to develop a resource that can assist teacher in being aware of other softwares that enable them use the Moodle with a lot of ease with compromising quality. The identified softwares are
 * 1) exe- to upload content to Moodle or other lms
 * 2) Hot potatoes for constructing  objectives tests and making the content more interactive
 * 3) Merlot to enable them utilize some of it resources to spice up the content and give a stimulus variation

These resources were created by the facilitator for the following target groups: The materials comprise a series of eleven units, each of which includes specific learning objectives, explanatory text, practical exercises, questions for discussion and recommendations for further reading. The units are as follows:
 * teachers particularly those ones who are now moving towards delivering content via LMS
 * professional bodies offering continuous professional development education.
 * anyone who is interested in the development of open & distance learning.
