Introduction

Evernote is used by a large number of people to store their daily files and activities. Especially, in the field of education, many educators and students use Evernote to share their notes with others. With this plugin, the users will be able to sync their Moodle and Evernote activities in a better way.

This is a project for the Google Summer of Code 2013. The aim would be to develop a Portfolio plugin for Evernote to help users upload the Moodle content to their respective Evernote accounts. A forum post containing embedded images and/or attachments, would be converted as a proper note and exported to Evernote. This would really help users to keep track of their profiles in Moodle.

Current related features available

Currently, Moodle just has the Evernote repository which helps users to get access to their Evernote files. But, there is no option to upload the content to their respective Evernote accounts. This plugin would help in solving the issue. (Link to the Evernote Moodle Repository)
