First is an article talking about the practical implications of CLT on the design of learning. The second are some "recent" (as of 2003) developments regarding CLT. Happy reading! Update: I clarified the second...

Slide share – Moodle.

We are looking for advice and we are willing to pay you for it. We have a

And then a second email that said:

Chris – sorry – my bad.

By the way, the MOODLE deal is the beginning of some big projects and I feel we
need a sharp expert who knows the technology. I wouldbe asking you to help us
set the stage for MOODLE based on the certain plug ins we would need. Your
expertise would help us and you would recieve compensation !! Can we connect?

Not sure about all this. I have not looked at the web site in his email address,  pretty sure it will be blocked here at school.

What do you all think?

Money in the bank my friend, money in the bank :P

Seriously though, not sure on what to do here. Definitely give the website a look at home and see what you think. If it’s suitable for others to know that you’re doing work for it, then go for it; the more experience you can get, the better.
