Short URL for this page: https://moodle.com/moodlenet
Note: This page describes a new project started in 2017 to improve the features provided by the moodle.net and moodle.org community portals. For the legacy mechanism of inter-connecting multiple Moodle and Mahara sites into a network, please see the MNet page.
What is MoodleNet?
MoodleNet is currently described by Martin Dougiamas, CEO of Moodle as, "a new open social media platform for educators, focussed on professional development and open content". A visual overview of the intended elements of MoodleNet are given in the diagram below;
MoodleNet will be an integral part of the Moodle ecosystem.
We'll be building out this page as the MoodleNet project develops.

Explaining MoodleNet
Explaining something new to people is difficult, as we understand the future through the lens of past experience. Therefore, as imperfect as these analogies are, they all get at something which will help MoodleNet empower educators and further Moodle's mission:
- Jetpack for WordPress - a plugin for WordPress created by the developers of WordPress. This allows self-hosted installations to be connected to a wordpress.com account to enable extra features. Good for the user (free additional functionality), and good for Automattic, who make Worpress (track number of installations, potential to upsell products/services)
Feedback
At the MoodleMoot in Miami (November 2017) we ran sessions on MoodleNet. The output of those sessions, including feedback from participants, can be found here: https://docs.moodle.org/402/en/MoodleNet-MootUS17
