More Moodle -2

After the initial Moodle exploration I decided to continue exploring by picking features I use and describing my experience with them. Ninehub came back up but was down for 4 days. This was frustrating. It also would have been disastrous if it had happened at exam time. I'm going to look into signing on with Classroom Revolution next.

In the meantime I continued exploring moodle on ninehub and the next feature I looked at was 'course backup.' My developing course is still small so backup time was really fast. It also was easy to use. There are numerous settings that allow you to backup very little or a lot of your course. I appreciated this since backing up courses on other platforms can be cumbersome. I was able to both save the .zip file on the ninehub site and also download for archiving onto my computer.

The one aspect of backup that still have to explore is restoring a backup. I'll report on that later.
