Roadmap

Here is the current roadmap of the future, though this is always subject to change depending on sponsors and developers.

Version 1.6

• Unicode - Moodle.com, Eloy Lafuente and Koen Roggemans

Moodle is now 100% Unicode, which means any language can be mixed together and an end to a number of problems that different character sets caused us.

• Documentation - Moodle.com and Helen Foster

A new one-stop Wiki site for ALL Moodle documentation, including links from Moodle itself

• Database - Moodle.com

A new activity module that allows collaborative collection of structured data, useful for many things!

• LAMS - LAMS Foundation

Integrated via a course format and an activity module

• Blogs - Daryl Hawes and Moodle.com

Allows reflection on an ongoing basis. Entries are marked and can be viewed by user, course, group, site etc. Contains new keyword support.

• Site Stats - Catalyst

Provides statistics at a higher level than before (by course etc)

• My Moodle - Catalyst

A dashboard interface that allows an overview for each user of all their courses etc

• Hive integration - Moodle.com and Harvest Road

This initial integration with Hive allows teachers to upload, browse, search and select Resources within the external repository.

• Multiple Groups - Moodle.com and Arab Open University

Users can be part of multiple groups within a course.

• IMS Resource - Eloy Lafuente and Alton College

Supports the loading of any content package as a Resource, plus special support for NLN repositories.

• Learning Design Export - Moodle.com and Open University of The Netherlands

We plan to have a very simple export for any Moodle course into IMS LD format, as a proof of concept and to help the community start learning about IMS LD.

Version 2.0

• IMS Learning Design - moodle.com

Support for importing/exporting this format, converting Moodle activities and sequences of activities into a standard format for sharing, and importing standard sequences into Moodle courses

• Conditional activities - moodle.com

allowing dependencies and forced paths through the content. It also provides support for

• Groups - moodle.com

groups can also be defined at the site level, and activities can be assigned to course groups

• Roles - moodle.com

this new system will allow the creation of custom roles at site, course and activity level

• Metadata - moodle.com

build on the keywords in 1.6 to provide metadata for all activities and courses, linkable to standard lists of metadata such as State-based learning outomes and curricula

• Many of the main pages customisable using HTML templates.
• Improved Web Services API
• Integration with some repositories
• Some exciting developments in making Moodle more network-aware, with a natural evolution of Moodle's focus on collaboration. More on this here later.
