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.
