Quote:Its a great idea that allows us Part Timers to communicate as we're only in college once a week. And for me on a personal level, as I know I can be introverted at times especially when it comes to meeting new people, I feel like its given me an insight to my fellow students that makes 'making friends' that little bit easier! i.e., an actual way of social networking! Also, you can post up your photos without feeling like your showing off and the contributions have been really interesting to read too.

Quote:“Without doubt it’s had a tremendous impact to the experience of my students. For example the retention rate for this course has been problematic but this year there is 100% retention rate. in my opinion, it [The HELLO Project and Moodle] has certainly added to the coherence, the delivery and student experience to the extent that moving into next year it will be a requirement, not an option that students on the FD (Foundation Degree) Photography and video part time course have to engage through Moodle”.
