About Moodle

Why is the opening sentence stating only two uses of Moodle? What about using it to support classroom teaching and training, blended learning, distance learning, just to mention a few other areas? user:Robert Brenstein March 2008

The opening sentence says:

"Moodle is a software package for producing internet-based courses and web sites. It's an ongoing development project designed to support a social constructionist framework of education."

So write a better opening

Moodle is a software package for producing internet-based courses and web sites. It's an ongoing development project designed to support a social constructionist framework of education.

• "Moodle is an source software package for creating a web site and courses. As a tool, it is used in a wide variety of learning environments as a primary or secondary resource. Many people and organizations have contributed to its development since 19xx. Moodle was initially designed to support a social constructionist framework of education and is very flexible." --Chris collman 10:03, 24 March 2008 (CDT)

• "Moodle is an open source software package for creating a web site and courses. As a tool, it is used in a wide variety of learning environments as a primary or secondary resource.

• "Moodle is a software package for producing internet-based courses and web sites. As a tool, it is used in a wide variety of environments as a primary or secondary resource.

• "Moodle is modular software program that produces internet based courses in an integrated web site. It is used in a wide variety of educational settings as a primary or secondary resource. Moodle was initially designed to support an interactive community based learning environment and has many flexible components."--Chris collman 05:52, 25 March 2008 (CDT)

Those are my versions of "What, where, who, when and how". But I still like the original. I know, many don't really care about the "social constructionist framework" roots but...uh, others do. (huge grin) --Chris collman 10:03, 24 March 2008 (CDT)

Introduction to Moodle

I would like to change this page to actually show the Introduction and move the Moodle Advocacy to a new page Advocacy. The first time I visited this page I expected to be able to read something about Moodle and I competely missed the menu at the top. The menu at the top could stay and could be repeated on each of the pages. If I hear no objections in a day or so I will make the change. --Gustav Delius 02:29, 28 January 2006 (WST)

Yes please - go for it! Perhaps the menu could become a navigation template? -- Helen Foster 02:35, 28 January 2006 (WST)

Echo - the Menu may need go through a period of natural evolution before making it a template. A few more categories might come to mind. Having navigation can become convoluted if the basic form is still developing. I feel it will be essential. Mark Burnet

Please, add Presentations and Moodle manuals to this pages, I think they should be here David Delgado 14:00, 7 February 2006 (GMT)

The manuals are for teachers and students, rather than being general information about Moodle. Also, some require updating. --Helen Foster 00:21, 14 February 2006 (WST)

The discussion of the GNU licenses should change slightly because it implies that one needs to share source code of all of your modifications. In fact, you only need to give source code to modifications that you make to copies of Moodle that you distribute to others.
