Time for a Mooch

I follow the @moodlemooch Twitter account and have seem a good number of entries in the Moodle Community Hub (MOOCH) this week.

As you may know, the Moodle.org Open Community Hub (MOOCH) is a directory of courses shared by Moodle users all over the world. Courses are available for download or to enrol in (to participate in other online communities).

There are currently 117 courses currently for download, of which 50 are in English.

As you can see in the image, you can search on the site for courses

• to download or enrol
• target audience (educators, students, administrators)
• Education level (Primary, secondary, Tertiary, Government, Association, Corporate, other)
• Subject (A wide range of subjects)
• License (creative commons, etc)

and you can order by date, name, publisher and featured or not.
