Integration Challenges

“We are not in the business of education.”

“It costs so much less. Is it really any good?”

“Do you really need me to fix it today?”

“Can I do this from home? I flew my whole shift.”

“It didn’t cost anything so why do you still budget for curriculum development?”

The Present

“That was fun, I’d have liked it to go further.”

“Can this be done on Moodle?”

“Remote access is so helpful, can we get it more stable?”

“I think Moodle should be able to do this.”

“This is fun, can I learn to do this?”

The FutureMoodle has joined the STARS family.

We are, in fact, a fully operational education department providing a variety of blended and online learning programs.
