This document discusses two models for sharing Moodle sites: 1) A single shared site called Learning on the Loop that hosts multiple schools. 2) Moodle Networking (Mnet) used by NMIT Online which networks multiple Moodle/Mahara sites. It then provides more details on Learning on the Loop including usage policies, course enrolments, and issues. It also discusses NMIT Online and how Mnet allows sites to share users while controlling access. Finally, it acknowledges contributions to improving Mnet and possible future developments.
