 G'day Moodlers, great news. Our friends at Moodle HQ have launched Moodle Cloud. It's a free service that provides you with a Moodle site in a matter of minutes. I'll demonstrate how to get started in a moment. Moodle Cloud is designed for certain situations, in particular small organizations with no budget or teachers with few classes, or anyone who may be interested in experimenting with Moodle. Righto, here's how you get started. Firstly, point your browser at MoodleCloud.com. You've got a page looking much like this one here. And on the right side where it reads, create your free Moodle site with Moodle Cloud today. You click the sign up button. Very straightforward. We're going to step through the five steps. There's this on-screen wizard and then the information is required. So you put in the name of your Moodle site, what you would like to call it, and we'll check for availability. If it's available, that's good. And then you choose the hosting location. Can either be in the US, Ireland or Australia. And then just confirm that you're a human being, not a robot. Get my site. Righto, step one. So step two, you're going to put in some particulars, your mobile phone number because account verification will be via mobile not email. Your preferred time zone. And then come down the bottom, having read the terms of service. If you agree, check the box and then click continue. So you would stand by and in a very short matter of time, the service should send you a verification code. Now it's just arrived, it will come from Moodle Cloud and say hello from Moodle Cloud to finish the setup process for your new Moodle site. You're going to enter the verification code that's provided. Okay, so that will be a six digit numeric string. So I'm going to enter that on screen now. Righto, enter a password and we are done. Okay, so we're going to use the password that we just entered to access the site and the set email address will be the username. So we click the login button and there we have it. This is our new Moodle site, created in a matter of minutes and we're ready to go. So, inclusions will other than, you know, what you would expect from a brand new Moodle site. We've got an introductory course there to help us get started if we're new to the learning management system. So we've self got a course you can step your way through in terms of where to find everything, adding users to courses, changing the look and feel and getting additional help from the Moodle community and beyond. Okay, things that are worth knowing. Your Moodle cloud site includes big blue button integration. So that's a virtual classroom. So you get web conferencing facilities, you know, naturally audio, video sharing, whiteboard and desktop sharing. There is however a limit of six attendees and no recordings, just bear that in mind. And there's a few other limitations to be aware of as well. 50 user maximum, 200 megabytes of data, okay. Standard themes only and this pretty, I guess Moodle cloud theme that they give us and one site per phone number. And I guess that goes back to the SMS verification there. There are also some ads down in the footer. So that's the small price you need to pay for your free Moodle site. So I hope that helps you get started. Relax, stay calm and happy Moodling.
