These larger items in the roadmap are part of a long-term development vision for Moodle, which is heavily influenced by requests from our user community.  Each release also includes a lot of smaller items that come direct from the community and are included in core if they are popular and if they "fit" the overall design.
Here are the broad themes of development for Moodle, which are heavily influenced by requests from our user community.  A lot of projects are going on in all these areas.

  • Plugins infrastructure - improving environment for development and management of Moodle plugins
  • Support infrastructure - improving central support documentation and services for users of Moodle

Access

  • Accessibility - social inclusion for people with all kinds of disabilities
  • Small touchscreens - making Moodle work well on phones and tablets
  • Offline - our Moodle Mobile app provides offline capabilities for Moodle.

Management

  • Outcomes and competencies - better tracking of what people know

Moodle 3.4

After Moodle 2.0 we switched to time-based releases rather than feature-based releases (see our development process). Because of this, the details below are an indication of current priorities only, and are subject to change according to how long things actually take to finish. Anything not ready by the following dates will generally be pushed to the next major release.
