MoodleNet is an open, social, media platform for educators, initially focused on sharing and curating collections of open content. It is a central place from where educators can easily detect quality content to meet the needs of their learners and courses.
Moodle’s vision is to “Empower educators” and MoodleNet is the content solution for educators all over the world.
MoodleNet is federated and uses flexible Open Education Technology that is not controlled by a single entity, or subject to a single point of failure. This means that despite the MoodleNet site that Moodle will maintain, organisations and individuals will be able to create their own MoodleNet instances. These MoodleNet instances may be connected to the Moodle's MoodleNet site or other MoodleNet sites allowing users to search at once and access resources from different instances.
To ensure quick and easy resource retrieval, MoodleNet is going to use a number of metadata to accurately describe each resource, following international standards. Resources will be described among others, by: education level, subject, license, educational type, technical format, and language.
