Feedback and notes from my WikiNeighbours

  • Hi Krishna, Warm welcome on-board eL4C53! Excellent starting! Keep it up! Regards Anil Prasad 04:49, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks Anil! I really hope to get a lot out of it and get certified as high as possible. --Kristina.hollis 00:20, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Hi Kristina, Welcome to WikiEducator. Congrats on achieving the Wiki Apprentice level 1. You are very definitely well on your way to learning the essentials of editing in a wiki. You just need to show center and right images (at least I couldn't find them in your work) and you are ready for level 2. I enjoyed looking over your page. Good luck with your project.

  • Hi Christina Nice 'meeting' and having a 'neighbour' like you:). You said you would be able to help me set up a Moodle? Let's get started?I used to host a few Moodle courses on Moodle which was freely hosted by 'Key to School'.They have discontinued the hosting as I couldn't afford their new prices.Do you/does any one know any free hosting services for Moodle courses? Janvier
  • You can host your own instance of Moodle on your own home server/computer but it is limiting and difficult to set up I've found. I'm not aware of any free services that will host Moodle for you but I can find out and let you know maybe. I work for a university so naturally ours is hosted by a large vendor outside of this uni. --Kristina.hollis 22:15, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
