New Moodle Design for Ludlow College

After a long break I intend to start trying to get back into the swing of posting to this blog. Quite a bit has happened in the last few months including a new role at Ludlow Colege as the MIS manager responsible for developing systems within the college. One of my first tasks was to update the Moodle theme and add some of the slider code I've been developing.

I wanted to develop a theme that was professional and very easy on the eye whilst at the same time having a more 'magazine' like feel to the layout. Many themes developed for Moodle end up looking the same; resulting in students being a little 'switched off' I wanted content that was reasonably easy to update. I have included my standard forum slider (that makes use of the Jquery BXSlider) and adapted a new version that uses the JQuery SlideDeck. Both have been adapted so that they take their input from posts on a Moodle forum. The slide deck version also integrate fancyframe to enlarge images and a PHP image resizer that resizes the uploaded image to the forum.
