What did we do wrong?

• Lack of communication• Overthinking and yet not thinking• Too much text• Worked for the Educators (initially)

• BUT NOT FOR THE STAFF

Central Gippsland Health Service

What did we do right?

• We took a step back• We “talked” with our staff– and we listened!

• We got rid of the box• We make moodle fit us –not the other way around!• we work out what we want the result to be, then find a

way to make moodle give us what we want

Central Gippsland Health Service

How?

• Limited budget• Core moodle with a few extras• Never accept “moodle can’t do that”– Rolling enrolment

• Continually evolving– Sometimes by choice– Sometimes being dragged along with upgrades
