I went to the lab at 10AM in the morning. Brandon came 20-30min earlier and he finished formatting the Debian OS and was installing CentOS when I came to the lab. After finishing the installation, we discussed what to start first. Since we struggled a lot on the required packages for the Moodle, we checked the versions of the default packages installed on the system and compared with the required versions. Again the default version of the packages didn't meet the requirements. So we decided to install the Moodle 2010 version instead of 2011. Last year version had more tutorials on the Internet and we thought it should be more stable since it's been around for more than a year. 2011 Moodle was last updated on the day we went to install, so it's up to date but may have some minor bugs in it.
With that set, we found a great instruction from the Internet, and after a few hours of struggle we successfully installed the Moodle learning server. We tested whether it works fine or not, and after we were sure that it works perfectly we let Judi and Songyu know that we finished installation.
Our last job was to train Judi and Songyu how to use the Moodle. Judi had some previous experience of using this Moodle learning server, but since it's been a while she last used it and the version is different, we had to teach them again.
We couldn't do it on the day since it was almost time to open the lab for adult learning class, and we spent over 5 hours to finish the work. We tried to make next appointment, but they didn't have time before our project due date, the April 7th. So we concluded it to discuss it later via E-mail when they can confirm the exact date for us to come.
Anyways, we finished installing the Moodle after more than 10 hours of work, and it was a great feeling that I did something to help the community.
