In order to improve the experience of our users we have made a number of developments and customisations that will interest other institutions that wish to improve the user experience of their teachers and learners. \u00a0For example<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"padding-left: 30px\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #808080\">We      have a tight integration with our institutional data so staff and student      information, profile pictures, course modules, memberships and teaching      groups are represented in our Moodle install. This enables our learning      environment to be aligned to Sussex systems and curricula and reduces      duplication of effort and teachers workload<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #808080\">We      have improved the interface to Moodle so that users can navigate the      course sites more easily and are not overwhelmed with information <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #808080\">We      have improved tools for site development so tutors have a quick settings      bar, an improved interface for choosing resources and activities and the      option to provide an identifying image for a Moodle course<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><span style=\"color: #808080\"> We\u2019d like this presentation to contribute to a dialogue with Moodle managers and developers in order to improve the services that we can offer in all our educational institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our abstract to present at the UK Moodle Moot 2011 has been accepted.
