ac.uk addresses are recognised now so I set a 'free forever' course up, added a YouTube video for students to see, created a couple of dummy students, and am now awaiting the confirmation emails for the dummy students so they know how to log on. The system accepts non ac.uk emails for students so I have used a gmail account, I hope this has not simply dropped into a black hole. I started with a blank course because I learn by randomly clicking around and working out how to add things. Others may like the 'sample content' course with one of everything. Some comments - Fresh bright and nice looking pages, younger students will like it. As soon as I can get a dummy student account activated, I'll have a look at it on my phone, which is how teenagers access Web content on their own time (PCs are strictly College things, office appliances) - Clicking on the YouTube button brings up a search box. There appears to be no place to put a direct link. I had to think of search terms to find my own YouTube videos! If there is a way of simply adding a 'share' link, can that be pointed out? - email validation for younger students may slow things down a bit, teenagers don't do email much now, and they all seem to have hotmail accounts which get blocked &c. Our own Moodle server allows us to simply create the accounts and then give the student a link, username and password. Has potential. PS Free forever because no member of staff can commit the institution to any kind of liability without a lot of form filling.
