Template:About Moodle

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.
A new one-stop Wiki site for ALL Moodle documentation, including links from Moodle itself
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.
Provides statistics at a higher level than before (by course etc)
A dashboard interface that allows an overview for each user of all their courses etc
This initial integration with Hive allows teachers to upload, browse, search and select Resources within the external repository.
Users can be part of multiple groups within a course.
Supports the loading of any content package as a Resource, plus special support for NLN repositories.
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

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
allowing dependencies and forced paths through the content. It also provides support for
groups can also be defined at the site level, and activities can be assigned to course groups
this new system will allow the creation of custom roles at site, course and activity level
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.
