Still getting up and running here so it feels weird to make an "announcement", but I just earned a promotion on Thursday!
Now, Professor of Computer Science at Loyola University Maryland!

@birv2 good luck! I'll have to look into coding rooms, always curious about new options!
@birv2 haha MS is a confusing acronym isn't it.
You can definitely share handouts and materials easily. Feedback is easy in an assignment, but not great for code feedback. We use GitHub classroom for our undergrads and jupyterhub for our masters students, but I'm not sure either is really worth the time for getting up and running in middle school.
@birv2 assignments are programming assignments in another system, and grades are in Moodle. Since I'm also doing specification grading, our instance of Moodle is actually quite awful for the grading aspect; but that isn't related to the async aspect of the course.
Moodle is OK for the quizzes/exam.
@birv2 sure. My current course is a MS level data science python programming course. I use the "lesson" activity to give material to learn, including "check your understanding" questions throughout written or video explanations. I mostly like the lessons, especially because I can use regular expressions to check answers on the questions. I also use the forum for discussion, although it's one of my least favorite forum setups that I've used.
@birv2 I've done asynchronous in Moodle, although not exactly project based learning. I think Moodle works OK for async, depending on what you want it to do and what features you have access to in your Moodle instance.
@adamaviv mmm delicious. Haven't made these in years!
Hanukkah Sameach!
@jeffjarvis Thanks for the tips, they make the experience significantly better, as promised!
Jeff JarvisWelcome new neighbors. My best tips:
1. In preferences, switch to advanced web interface.
2. Switch to light mode. You will thank me.
3. Complete your profile & write & pin a post introducing yourself *before* you start following other folks.
4. In the Notifications column settings, under quick filter bar, turn on "display all categories" (separates replies from boosts from new followers).
5. Try movetodon.org to find folks from the Dodo site.

@itsmehenning "yeah" comes to mind as a possibility. Quick means agreement, drawn out means something else ("thinking about it but probably yes" or "maybe" or "I"m judging you" depending on context?)
