New York Times: In a rising number of US schools, textbooks and pencils are back.
🚀 Update: Moodle Lernstands-Ampel v2 ist da! 🚦
Ich habe mein Widget für #Moodle überarbeitet.
✨ Neu in v2:
✅ Auto-ID Scan: Das Skript findet die Kurs-IDs von selbst.
✅ Smart Sort: Aufgaben werden endlich logisch sortiert (1, 2, 10...).
✅ Deep Scan: Erkennt automatisch die aktuelle Aufgabe.
Einfach als Textblock einbinden & fertig. Perfekt für die #Lernlandkarte!

I just wrote a guide on using virtual cards to finally fix this problem for international students. Full breakdown in the link 👇 #edtech #onlinecourses
# Why Your Credit Card Keeps Getting Declined on Coursera—And How I Finally Fixed It**The Situation**Last year, I tried enrolling in a Coursera specialization and hit a wall: my card was declined.
