0. Moodle is a complete e-learning system. Content in any form can be easily uploaded by teachers and students, structured learning and collaboration is possible, students can be coordinated etc
1. More users would be interested. 2. Lessons do not die as in IRC 3. Learning can become a continuous process. New students can join in at a later stage. 4. Time constraints can be done away with 5. IRC /chat plugins can always be enabled/integrated. 6. Documentation development can be done in Moodle
Of course the UI is far better, etc

Excellent. If you have a good idea in mind for a class, let us know and we can get it on the schedule. ;)

Yeah, I looked at it a bit... it does look pretty interesting. Will have to investigate it moving forward. It could be at least a way to collect materials from a irc/voice class so that students could more easily get them all.
It does look quite a bit more elaborate than most of the short IRC classes need, but I think more detailed classes could be good too.
