Regarding the course import for teachers to start from... I can envisage a situation whereby the original course author finds new information/ideas and adds stuff to the master course after the teacher has downloaded it, which in the current model would not make it to the teacher as the download is a one off process which they will not repeat. I would prefer a model whereby a course can act as a master template which gets updated regularly so that new questions, resources, activities etc appear dynamically as hidden items within the teacher's downloaded course, ready to be reviewed and revealed if needed. This would be like maintaining your Moodle install using CVS - you get updates all the time as they are created.

It would also be good to be able to track how many people are using a particular course and to have some sort of meta-forum for discussing changes and developemts. Many teachers will end up using the successful/well designed courses, so it would make a lot of sense to have a way of pooling their shared experience and getting that feedback back to the original creator. -- Matt Gibson 18:51, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
