This roadmap collects the best information about upcoming features in Moodle. It is not 100% certain - features may change according to available funding and developers.
Version 1.8 - Expected January 2007
- Accessibility - Moodle.com
- Compliance with all major accessibility standards
- Moodle forms library - Moodle.com
- All forms can now use a single API for defining forms consistently and collecting data safely.
- Multi Authentication - Iñaki Arenaza / Jonathan Harker (Catalyst) / Martin Langhoff (Catalyst)
- Customisable User Profiles - Pukunui Technology
- Allow fields to be added to the user profile.
- Moodle Net - Catalyst and Moodle.com
- Web Services API for Moodle communications. Allow users to connect to from one Moodle to another in a peer-to-peer fashion, safely, and later: lots more!
- Groups refactor - Juliette White / Nick Freear (OU)
- Groups code will be reorganised to make it more flexible for the future (see 1.9)
- Blog commenting
- You'll be able to make comments on blogs! In time, all comments in Moodle will be merged into the same commenting system.
- Authorize.net Payment Gateway enrolment plugin
- Payment managers can obtain an authorization code over phone from customer's bank if the credit card of the user cannot be captured on the internet directly.
Version 1.9 - Expected April 2007
- Repository API - Open University and Moodle.com
- Abstract all file operations to an API that allows plugins for different external repositories
- Learning Design export - Moodle.com and Open University of The Netherlands
- We plan to have a very simple export for any Moodle course into IMS LD format, as a proof of concept and to help the community start learning about IMS LD.
- New groups - Open University
- Site-wide groups, reusable groups, and assigning activities to groups are the major improvements being developed
- The gradebook system will be revamped for performance, switching from our older "pull" model to a "push" model where all modules will now publish grades as necessary into a central table.
- Metadata - Moodle.com
- Build on the keywords in 1.6 to provide metadata for all activities and courses, linkable to standard lists of metadata such as State-based learning outomes and curricula
Version 2.0 - Expected July 2007
- IMS Learning Design - Moodle.com
- Support for importing/exporting LD, converting Moodle activities and sequences of activities into a standard format for sharing, and importing standard sequences into Moodle courses
- Conditional activities - Moodle.com
- Allowing dependencies and forced paths through the content
- Community hub interfaces - Moodle.com and others
- Makes it easy for users to find and navigate other systems and external Moodle repositories, leveraging the Moodle Network in various ways.
- API for integrating external systems for managing student information
Note: Moodle 2.0 will require PHP 5.1 as a minimum, because of certain improvements not available in PHP 4.
Version 2.1
- Interface Moodle activities and repositories to help produce portfolios for internal assessment AND external publication
