Future

As Moodle gains in maturity, its directions are increasingly influenced by the community of developers and users. A dynamic database of proposed features and their status can be found at moodle.org/bugs. Your contributions in the form of ideas, code, feedback and promotion are all very welcome - see the Developers manual and the community forums for more details. You can also pay to have certain features developed sooner- see moodle.com/development for information and a quote.

Here is the current roadmap of the future, though this is always subject to change depending on sponsors and developers.

Version 1.6 Blogs as the main tool for reflective activities (providing user, course and site feeds).

Database module, a general purpose tool for collaborative data entry, searching and browsing

Integration with LAMS as an activity or course format

Some better statistics

Incoming email handling

Basic Web Services API

Version 1.7 My Moodle page providing a customisable overview of all courses, plus RSS feeds and so on.

Improved User Profile page, integrating Blogs, feeds etc in a semi-public home page

Preliminary support for IMS LD Level A, allowing import and export

Full support for SCORM 2004

Improved Web Services API

Integration with some repositories

Version 2.0 Conditional activities, allowing dependencies and forced paths

Complete support for IMS LD standard

Improved Groups, allowing groups to be defined at site and activity level

Improved Roles implementation, allowing custom roles at site, course and activity level

Many of the main pages customisable using HTML templates.

Some exciting developments in making Moodle more network-aware, with a natural evolution of Moodle's focus on collaboration. More on this here later.
