I have recently adapted a few of my classes to the new modular format on Moodle.  Today, I had another nudge when I received another application from a prospective student.  This one looks more promising than the one I received last month and having even one student makes me want to get my classes tidied up and working properly.  The technicalities of seeing that Moodle is working properly and that all the bits and pieces of my courses are in place and functioning for students is laborious.  Hours of work.  Moodle is not as user-friendly or reliable as I should wish.

However, I do get great satisfaction out of writing up courses and perhaps I will move ahead to work on it some more in the weeks to come.  Freed now from a quarter system, I feel liberated somewhat in the ability to get courses up and online at any time during the year.  If I miss the beginning of a quarter, it doesn't matter too much.  I seem to operate better in an a-chronological or perhaps anachronistic idiom.  A fault or a virtue?  I do not know.  But when a destiny is unfolding, it seems to me that it can neither be predicted accurately nor rushed. 

If you are inclined, please check out the courses listed at the following link and tell me if you are interested in taking them.
