Moodle 2.0 Community hubs

Orange University One rainy day, Tabitha, a clever and kind Moodle Admin at Orange University, wanted to publish and share Moodle courses created by other educational organisations in Orange City. “ Community Hubs in Moodle 2.0” A story

Orange Hub Orange University She got Moodle 2.0, created the Orange City Hub and registered Orange University to it. People at Orange University started publishing, sharing and enrolling in each other's courses. It was a good start but people wanted to go beyond the walls of Orange University.

Orange City Hub Orange University Orange Primary Orange High Orange Adult Learning Institute The word got around and soon, many other local Moodle sites registered to the Orange City Hub. People on these sites could publish courses on the Orange City Hub for others to enrol in or download. They could also search for, enrol or download other courses published on the Orange City Hub. They soon found they have a lot in common - sharing and joint projects blossomed!

To publish and share their own courses, they registered their sites (NOT hubs!) to MOOCH.
