Awesome Moodle People

Andrew Field (@andyfield on twitter). He is Head of ICT at Neale-Wade Community College, Adobe Educational Leader & effective ICT enthusiast.

Andrew has several websites: Effective ICT - on this site you will find some of his inspirational presentations he has done for example "40 ICT ideas in 40 minutes" I thought this was a really fantastic idea to get colleagues sharing their successes of incorporating ICT into their curriculum and teaching. He has produced a presentation which you can view on his website or slideshare. He has others on slideshare too.


He is the father of the Content Generator games that I use on my Moodle site. The kids absolutely adore these games, I use them predominantly for revision as a change from the Moodle quizzes. They introduce a fun aspect which really increases the engagement with revising. Andrew is now in the process of making his games SCORM compliant, meaning scores can be tracked in the Moodle gradebook!

Recently he released a Moodle course which allows the participant to create a poem using flash. It is really professional and again really engaging for the learners. He has allowed me to put a copy of this Flash Poem Moodle course on the TEK Moodle site. It is a great example of how you can use Moodle to make a customised course for your students.

Andrew is definitely on my list of "Awesome Moodlers" his work has had a real influence on my use of Moodle.
