Brief History of this Course:
The bulk of this course was originally created by Mary Parke (with additional credit going to those listed above) under a Creative Commons license prior to her hire at CCSF. The summer of 2008 Mary and Donna Eyestone got together and restructured Mary's original course, updated it to reflect the new Moodle version (at that time), and edited the content where applicable to reflect CCSF - it's history online, faculty contributions, and culture. Many thanks go out to Donna for this exceptional work - and for her contribution to the course as both a trainer and one of our online instructors. Mary continues to update, revise, and reflect on this course. :)
Since it's first launch in Fall 2008, this course has undergone many revisions to reflect software updates, suggestions from faculty and our trainers, and new topics/ideas as they've come along. This course is a true reflection of online learning: it is always being updated, revisited, and tweaked to reflect the best information available from our community of instructional experts (staff, faculty, international and local community consortia, etc).
Update: This content was migrated and updated from our online Insight course to this public knowledge base version in Spring 2010 to make the content searchable and
indexable and allow our faculty to use it as a reference beyond the
termination of taking the online course. Hence why this reads as
tutorials sequentially, rather than just a bunch of FAQs.
