We will start the conversion of 5% of our courses (~25 in ITEE) to Moodle very shortly - ready for teaching in Study period 2 2010 [the final decision on which courses these will be in our Division is in the hands of the Deans T&L - Brenton].
To start you thinking about Moodle and its functionality - here is a movie (2 min 45) that explains the bits of Moodle using lego.
There are also the Using Moodle book (this is what I used to build my first moodle course).
I am really impressed with the increased awareness of social presence within the Moodle environment that I am currently trialling with students. You know who the particpants are, when they are online, where they have been, where the unread discussion forums are - it really feels alive. I am hopeful that this change to Moodle will convince more teachers to use the online environment as a way to engage students in their learning.

How about adding a 5 minutes Nutshell with voice to enhance and explain this presentation?
