Research and planning
Drag and Drop
Currently looking into the scriptaculous drag-and-drop scheme that is used on the chameleon moodle site.
I have been doing some research as to how scriptaculous impliments their drag and drop and if it would be better to try to integrate this portion of scriptaculous into moodle or to start from scratch.

AJAX course format Background The current course formats are designed to work on lower browsers and older technologies. They are highly compatible with browsers but can really slow down the course creation process. Overview Design a clean, extensible method for implementing a course format using AJAX. This may require development of a web service to service the Javascript front end. Details 1. It should be optional and accessible, so that it can drop back to the current interface on browsers that are incapable of dealing with dynamic pages. 2. Blocks can be dragged and dropped. 3. Sections can be dragged and dropped, made hidden or visible. 4. Activities and resources can be dragged and dropped, made hidden or visible, have the group status changed, etc. Mentors: Martin Dougiamas and Urs Hunkler Programmer: Edward Coyne
