seminar will review several tools for rapidly setting up a Moodle 2 course,
including the standard backup / restore and import procedures, and then a first
look at two new plugins: Drag and Drop which supports single-click file uploads
to a course, and Group Choice, which allows students to select a choice and
then automatically puts them into Moodle groups based on their selection.
