Another day, another Moodle install
Let’s see:
- new hosting provider for our school-website: done!
- new domain name for our school-website: done!
- contents transferred from old to new site: done!
- installing Moodle on new sub domain: done!
- configuring the freshly installed Moodle to our preferred settings: done!
But: Why on earth does it take around a million clicks to setup Moodle with sane (for our school) settings? I wish there was an option where I could set these things during installation. Or maybe even something like: “Do you want to install full multimedia (+links to Youtube) support?” and/or “Is this Moodle for your institution/school only or for a broader audience (=guests allowed)?”
This would make it much quicker and less painless to set up a Moodle. With most school-Moodle-admins being teachers–who might not be computer science experts–security might benefit, too. I hope that Moodle 2.0 will offer significant advancement in this area.
