| | June 2013. May be to late for 2.6, but there are a few nice little items I'd love to see some progress on. |
|
| |
|
| I'm interested in the process of getting small fixes into core Moodle. There seem to be a number of no brainers, and I've often wondered what it needs to get things moving a little. I have also found it hard to follow the tracker. So, this is really list #3, after my list in 2009 and 2010. There is some progress, but it's been 2 steps forward, one step back:
| | ===Admin: spam deletion=== |
| #cohorts (but to make a cohort you need to chose each of the 200 names individually)
| | It is difficult to delete spam emails. There are a whole lot of ways this could be sorted. |
| #blog comments (But the have removed blogs posts attached to courses)
| | #[https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-19190#comment-224314 User filter: Allow filtering by those who are not enrolled as a particular role in any course other than the front page (i.e. site).] |
| #themes (but there is no one basic theme with the basic features in it in standard with Moodle now)
| |
| #better import and export of activities and resources (at a cost of difficulties in the file management)
| |
| #filters (but a lot of hard coding so they are inflexible)
| |
| #repositories (sort of)
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Some musings.''' There is a lot of really good things we could do on Moodle. And there are a lot of good plugins. I'm interested in '''Core Vanilla Moodle'''. Big organisations can make the changes they want. Small organisations often can survive without them. Slightly bigger: like they don't link to an SMS and have to create 40 courses (No CSV new course upload), they use self enrolment (No e-mail sent to teacher) they can't install plugins (Like the menu to remove the scroll of death) . . .
| | ===Admin: email user when manual account created for someone=== |
| | Also, similar process when admin manually creates new account for user. |
| | #Email sent to user on manual account creation http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-19390 |

|
| I worry that the future development of Moodle will head down the lines of Mobile (taking a lot of resources from the basics) or Distros (like ELIS or Totara) or OU-type customisations. MoodleHQ may just not have the time or inclination to get the small helpful fixes into Moodle core.
| | ===Admin: email admin/admin report when user self registers=== |
|
| |
|
| Footnote: Mobile is interesting: at a Moodle workshop in Singapore in early June I was basically in a room full of folk with iPhone. It was a serious question "Moodle for Mobile" but really only the forums. I've changed my opinion: maybe Moodle for Mobile is needed.
| | ===Teacher: email teacher/teacher report when user self enrols in course=== |
|
| |
|
| | BONUS: email teacher when user first posts in a course forum |

| If you create an account, then you have to send a second message to tell the user of the account information. Tracker: http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-19390
| | --> |
| | |
| From the comments in 2009: "There is somewhat of a move away from directly sending emails because of the variety of forms that folks like to receive communications. For example, some users may want to receive an IM or SMS message from Moodle rather than an email. The goal is to use a united messaging system and then let the user control how that message gets sent out"

| ===A way to link files===
| |
| | |
| ==FORUM MODULE ENHANCEMENTS==
| |
| In some respects, discussion on this issue has been very irrational, sporatic, littered with unfulfilled promises and shattered plans. Here is a view: forums are pretty fundemental in Moodle. There is no equivalent to a Wall (in FB) a quality blog (like wordpress) and the special equivalents in the verious flavours of Moodle: Joule, TotaraLMS, ELIAS etc - or the special communication enhancements in D2L, Haiku, Edmodo and Canvas etc. Moodle core lags behind.
| |
| | |
| See https://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Forum_requirements Forums were in the Moodle roadmap for over a year. Then they just disappeared. There are now three big groups with their own forum/communication channels:
| |
| #Advanced Forums (Moodlerooms) http://talentmgt.com/articles/view/moodlerooms_releases_joule_1.1
| |
| #[ForumNG] (Open University)
| |
| #TotaraLMS
| |
| | |
| . . . but there has only been one small fix on Forums in core Moodle (fixing the bug that made the Q&A forum unuseable) Tracker: xxx and one enhancement of indeterminate value: Blog-style forums
| |
| | |
| To take just one feature (subscription at the thread level), the latest word is: "I can absolutely guarantee that this feature will be in the rewrite of forum when it happens" (10 March 2011) referring to the request made in 8th July 2004. ie 7 years, and a lot of effort from coders (all documented on the tracker)
| |
| | |
| It's the old problem: limited resources and competing demands. I'd like to see more effort made to shepherd the coding done with people outside Moodle core, to focus effort, provide feedback.
| |
| | |
| ===Forum: listing of attached files===
| |
| In some respects, Moodle does not have an easy to use file sharing functionality. (Database if not really easy enough for a basic user) Hence this suggestion for an enhancement.

| ===Forum: subscribe at the thread level===
| |
| I notice in the tracker http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-1626 there is a request for the ability for notification (subscription) at the thread level, not just the forum level. It says it is in 2.0 in the tracker. What does this mean? Is this definite, since it is not mentioned in the roadmap? Is it too small an enhancement to justify comment in the roadmap? To what level of detail does the roadmap get maintained?

| |
| https://docs.moodle.org/en/Book_module#Books_and_Moodle_2.0
| |
| | |
| But still not in the core I note there is a request for the book module to be in the core. http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-283 But it does not have a fix version indicated. Does that mean the request is not considered significant to be included in 2.0??
