On Thursday, May 2, eLab has hosted at USI in Lugano the 8th SAMoo meeting, the meeting of the Swiss Academic Moodle community.

The presentations of the meeting are now available here.

The next SAMoo meeting will be on September 6, 2013 in Luzern, during the Swiss MoodleMoot 2013.

Starting in fall semester 2013, the Swiss Paraplegic Research center, together with the Department Health Sciences & Health Policy of the University of Lucerne, will offer a new Master in Health Sciences.

Some of the courses proposed in the program will be offered in a “blended learning” mode. eLab has been asked to contribute to the instructional design of these courses and to the implementation of a dedicated Moodle platform for their online activities.

The handbooks on how to use iCorsi2 have been updated and enriched, and are now available online: you can find them in the HELP page of the platform.

Both the Student Handbook and the Teacher Handbook are available in Italian and in English.
