NZ MoodleinSchools Hub

The NZ Moodleinschools community is a project that provides a tested and up to date Moodle instance for NZ schools. It means that schools can download Moodle or chose to have it hosted by a Ministry Partner with the assurance that it is tested and safe. As it is community driven you will see that the website has contributions from schools who share their resources, stories, experience and direct its future.
One of the new developments this year that is new to the community and to Moodle 2 is the idea of a central hub. This means that Moodle sites can be linked to a central repository or 'hub' . Moodle.org have their own hub called Mooch. The idea of the NZ moodleinschools hub is for NZ schools to collaborate and share courses through the hub. This has not been forthcoming through schools getting up to date with Moodle 2, this being a trial (with 6 schools) and teacher training, but I'm sure term 4 will be a good time to remind lots of schools of the advantages. As a teacher this does flip my switches!
I linked my moodle instance to the hub (with help from Kristina - again!) and found it 5 minutes with of admin work and once a teacher has created a course it takes them less than a minute to upload or search for a course from the hub, as the video shows.
