    moodle and atotor

    Hi.
    I want to choose on of moodle and atutor, but I really dont know which I should use. I couldnt install moodle on my website, but atutor had a friendly installer (expect that I had to make a database my self and installer couldnt do that it self). So I tried to find their compares. I find one here: http://www.edutools.info/item_list.jsp?pj=4 . I want you to tell me which should I use because they are very similar according that link.
    +++
    It will be a very good future for atutor to have the option of making question topics in forum. Which the student see just the teachers post before sending his/her answer and after sending the answer he/she would be able to see the others answers and read them. Like which is in moodle.
    +++
    I want the developers to see compare moodle 1.8 and atutor 1.5.4 in that site and see the results.

    I dont is there the ability of editing posts on atutor forum or no. But I cant edit my posts. And the editor in atotur is not very good. I think itll be a good idea to use wysiwyg editor or something like that.

    Re: moodle and atotor

    asking about this in an Atutor forum will most probably recommend you to use Atutor. I, for instance, like Atutor better.

    you can not edit your own posts in the forums at atutor.ca, but you can in the applications discussion forums, if you allow for it.

    the content editor in Atutor is TinyMCE, which is a (very good) WYSIWYG editor, and the same as Moodle uses if I'm not wrong.

    You can make question topics in forum either by creating a new forum for each question, then making that forum read only in the forum settings.

    Or, you can post new threads as a question topic.

    Re: moodle and atotor

    Thank you, and a question:
    The Farsi translation has lots of mistakes. There are lots of deferent translations (e.g. 'ی' and ' ی' and ' یی' just for the word email). In some places just one part of the English parse translated. And in some places they didnt put tags (like <s> in the translation). A person should edit it from first to last. Then it'll be a good translation!
    I can do that, but are there any advantages to do that? And is there a head of translation group?

    Re: moodle and atotor

    Generally, a person having noticed errors in translation is encouraged to fix it him/her-self.

    There are really no financial or other advantages of participating in the translation of ATutor, apart from many thanks from the ATutor developers and ability to see your translation being used by a number of universities in Iran, like Isfahan University of Technology or Ferdowsi University of Mashhad.

    Re: moodle and atotor

    Thank you, just I have one more question: Can I make some group of students (e.g. one group for each grade) and allow them just to attend the courses for their level?

    Re: moodle and atotor

    It seems that one cannot group students in any way outside the courses.

    But you can make your course private (Manage -> Properties) and enroll there only the students you need.

    Then you may divide the courses to categories, named according to the grades. It won't prevent students from requesting enrollment into other courses, but at least they would know which are for them.
