Glad to know the mobile plug in works! My PDA has a "full" browser and won't activate the plug in, so I couldn't see if it worked. I've played with Moodles in the past, and have to agree it's a great tool - but I feel that you need more of a tech background to set it up and run a Moodle successfully. I've installed one, but didn't find it as easy was Wordpress Mu. But it does have many features (such as being able to assignment tracking and being able to post marks easily) that a social network doesn't. Again it just comes down to looking at exactly what you want out of the technology, then picking the program that's right for you. Great! Glad to know the mobile plug in works!

Wordpress just keeps getting more and more powerful! I can't wait to see Buddypress! Another open source app that had a lot of my attention due to the plugins and educational applications was Moodle, but Wordpress MU just might be the way to go! By the way, I'm typing this from my Blackberry! Works like a charm! Wow! WordPress just keeps getting more and more powerful! I can’t wait to see Buddypress!
