== Version 1.9 - very soon ==
 
''1.9 is currently in beta. See [[Release Notes]].
* [[Development:Grades|Gradebook development]] - Moodle.com and OU
::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.  Support for (local/state) [[Development:Outcomes|outcomes/goals/competencies]] is included!
* [[Development:Events|Events API]] - Moodle.com
::The new Events API provides a way for any code to "hook" into events in a clean, loosely coupled way. A lot of events in Moodle (such as adding a user or a course) now trigger events that developers can hook into.
* [[Tags]] - part of the [[Student_projects/Social_Networking_features|Google SOC Social Networking]] project by Luiz Cruz will make it's way into 1.9, allowing users to tag themselves and create interest pages around those tags, bringing information together from a variety of sources.
* [[Question_Engine_Changes_in_Moodle_1.9|Improved question bank]] - Jamie Pratt funded by [http://www.fun.ac.jp/en/ Future University Hakodate].
** Allows questions to be shared by the whole site, a course category, a single course, or be kept private to a single module. More control over who can do what to each question.
** [[Questions linking to files|Also improved management of files linked to from questions.]]
** See also the original development plan here: [[Development:Plan to Improve Flexibility of Question Category Sharing and Permissions]]
* Other Quiz/Question improvements:

** Some slight improvements to quiz layout. See [http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-10374 MDL-10374] for details. Theme designers please note!
** [[GIFT format|Gift Import/Export format]] can now handle Essay and Description question types.

Revision as of 08:44, 3 March 2008

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 2.0 - Expected Late 2008

(This list is fluid, depending on available resources)

Definitely

  • Moodle 2.0 will require PHP 5.2 as a minimum, allowing us to clean up the code in some areas. For more info see: gophp5.org.
  • Portfolio API - Enovation.ie / Moodle.com
Interface Moodle activities and repositories to help produce portfolios for internal assessment AND external publication. The first Portfolio plugin implemented will be Mahara.
Abstract all file operations to an API that allows plugins for different external repositories.
Allowing dependencies and forced paths through the content.
Makes it easy for users to find and navigate other systems and external Moodle repositories, leveraging the Moodle Network in various ways.
  • Old DB install/upgrade system removed
The deprecated system for installing or upgrading database entries used in Moodle < 1.7 will be completely removed, while supporting only the new XML based database scheme introduced in 1.7.

Hopefully

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
API for integrating external systems for managing student information
Moodle Voice is a project for embedding VoiceXML support into Moodle Core.
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.
