Notes
ELIS Presentation
ELIS was presented by Hubert Chathi from Remote-Learner.net. Hubert described the development, structure and implementation as well as plans for the future.
Hubert also raised some other lesser projects from Remote-Learner.net, including an improved cron system.
Plugins (M&P replacement)
The new Plugins system was demonstrated. The features of the new system were shown.
- Screenshots
- Multiple contributors
- Versioning
- Ratings and reviews
- RSS feeds various steams of information
The system is on [moodle.org], but not open to the world as yet.
The future of the system was discussed, including encouraging people to upgrade code.
Moodle 2.2 progress
There was a quick overview of the Roadmap for 2.2.
Specifically the following topics were discussed in some detail.
- Rubrics
- Files and repositories
- Milti-tenancy
- iPhone app and Web services
Other stuff
- Dan Poltawski attempted to speak about how Mahara code revision works, but was unable to share his desktop, unfortunately
- Tim Hunt said he was contemplating two new types of plugin. One was to re-organise the question bank code into plugins (e.g. edit questions, edit categories, import, export and preview). This would let people add new functionality. The other was to convert mod/quiz/accessrules.php to be a set of sub-plugins of quiz.
- Replacement for MNet through Web services and OAuth
