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;

Introducing new concepts to people can be difficult, as we all 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:

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)
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Assistant Office Assistant] - although widely parodied / derided, 'Clippy' (as it became known) provided an early form of just-in-time help for for those using Microsoft Office. An updated version of this, with natural-language search and contextual information would be an intelligent assistant and very useful ''within'' Moodle installations.

It is customised to fit in seamlessly with the brand, and allows users to interact with support and community discussions without having to go to a separate 'place'.

As an administrator you can connect to an instance of MoodleNet so that course teachers or others with the capability moodlenet:shareactivity and/or moodlenet:sharecourse can send course content to the selected MoodleNet site.

  1. From Site administration > Development > Experimental settings, check the box Enable sharing to MoodleNet (outbound)
  2. You will then have an extra setting (Enable sharing to MoodleNet (outbound)) from Site administration > General > MoodleNet settings, prompting you to set up a MoodleNet OAuth 2 service.
  3. From Site administration > Server > OAuth2 services, click the MoodleNet button and set up your service. See OAuth 2 MoodleNet service.
  4. Once the service is created, go to Site administration > General > MoodleNet outbound settings and set the OAuth 2 service to the service you just created.
  5. When everything is configured correctly, users with the Capabilities/moodle/moodlenet:shareactivity and Capabilities/moodle/moodlenet:sharecourse will be able to share to MoodleNet.
