Moodle might be a very reasonable option. I have had some experience with this, and it seems to work well. The difficulty would be administrating it – this takes time. I cannot recall, however, how well their chat application works.

 

That being said, it would be an appropriate partnership given that Moodle is to educational software what Koha is to library software. Moodle would also enable a document repository and forum for ongoing conversation. It would establish a Koha community.

Subject: [KUDOS] Google Talk via FaceBook for KUDOS meetings

 

As many of you know, I've been looking for a way to have online KUDOS chat meetings via FaceBook.

Well, we tried Google Talk in the FaceBook application. It's very cumbersome and will not work for online chat meetings. However, we could utilize Google Talk via Google. Google Talk is great--you can have either a chat with one person or a group. How's it work?

All you need to do is:
a. Have a google acct.
b. Have an email acct.

Then, if any of us wants to talk/chat realtime we can hook up via Google Talk.

What do you think?

Other options are:
a. building a moodle with chat function. (Moodle has a chat function built in.)
b. email via the Koha list or FaceBook
c. meet in person
d. other ideas?

Deb
