Today a cooperative BCNET Moodle shared service is enhancing the learning environment for 39,356 student and faculty users at eight institutions. In this presentation, we will talk about the win-win benefits of a Moodle partnership that greatly simplifies administration and minimizes costs and efforts for participating institutions. We will cover TRU’s contribution to support Moodle, the value of the collaborative community and the ease of integration with other learning tools and student information systems. We will also cover some of the challenges related to supporting the needs of various institutions in delivering learning services in a private cloud. Our members will share their user experiences in using the BCNET Moodle cloud-based solution.
