Fraser Stowe
Fraser likes tinkering with tech, buttons and gadgets, so when he was asked to help GCC switch very quickly from BB to Moodle campus-wide, he jumped at it—asking only "What is Oodle?"  Emboldened by learning the correct name, he picked up on Moodle pretty quick, and was part of Team FSM that helped the campus convert all its courses into Moodle in one year. Fraser also likes being helpful, explaining things, and making videos, so he also co-created the resources to guide students through their courses that use Moodle, like instructional videos and a Moodle course that explains how to use it. From here his work expanded into showing instructors how to get more out of Moodle, Moodle update testing and troubleshooting.
