Moodle4Mac

I finally got around to installing Moodle4Mac (version 3.5) once again on my MacBook Pro as well as the GIT tool for updating Moodle in the future. Using the latter, a double-click is all that is needed to get the newest Moodle without downloading the complete installation package anymore.

I still have my free online Moodle at MoodleCloud although I need to log in from time to time or else I get a warning that the site will be deleted. I've not made much use of it but I still like to maintain it.

I'd like to begin using my Moodle installation as an organisational tool to keep track of various projects that I'm embarked upon. In that way, I maintain familiarity with the interface and accomplish something practical at the same time.

Resolving WiFi Problems in MacOs

This is complete rewrite of an earlier post in which my purported solution to my Wi-Fi woes turned out to be ineffective. The specific problem concerned only certain networks, specifically the Wi-Fi in my Singapore hotel room and the Wi-Fi at Changi airport. The former required a password and my smartphone connected without a problem but my laptop seemingly connected without needing to supply a password. However, while connected to the Wi-Fi, my laptop would not connect to the Internet. At Changi, I likewise connected to the network but couldn't reach required site to insert my 5 digit password.

A suggestion provided on Tom's Hardware site at least solved the problem at Changi. Open System Preferences under the Apple logo and choose Network:

The suggestion was to click on minus sign in the diagram above while Wi-Fi is selected. Once the Wi-Fi option is deleted, restart the laptop and go back to above screen and click on the positive sign. Choose Wi-Fi from the drop-down menu and then try connecting again. It worked for me. This is something that I'd never tried before but I've now added it to my troubleshooting armoury.
