[nfbcs] Moodle.org Problems

[Dr. Denise M Robinson]

Marvin
I was just told by someone that moodle was very accessible. I am thinking an
email to this guy might help---I hope it does. I have not had time to check
it out yet myself --email, Peter Zaremba <peter at peterzaremba.com>;  let me
know...I am always interested
Thanks
Denise
