=Notes:= 1. Accessibility 2. Questionaire 3. Games 4. Lightbox 5. Book 6. OU Blog 7. DimDim 8. Java Molecule Editor 9. Mindmap 10. Certificate Modules
 * EXELearning.org - ability to create questions/quizzes and package as a SCORM to be uploaded on Moodle
 * Udutu - similar to EXELearning, but easier to use
 * Both are free to use
 * Articulate will create amazing, interactive, engaging activities which can be packaged as SCORM. However, it is not a free option.

=Ideas for Implementing:=
 * The games are more visually basic than Quia or other game sites online. However, it does track on task efforts. It it would be an easier/better way to track homework. Random guesses do hurt the students final score.
 * I want to investigate the Lesson option on Moodle - similar to the Book plugin, but you can track on task work.

=Challenges:=
 * In order to get a plugin installed, it needs to go through the server admin. In this case, we would have to contact the IU and state our case for the benefit of a specific plugin or module.
 * People who do not know what they are doing - with permissions they should not have - results in lots of damage to Moodle sites
 * Copy & Pasting from a Word document includes a lot of unintentional codes that interfere with Moodle
 * When Moodle is upgraded, many of the plugins are not included in the update. So there is no way to transfer that data/resource over.
