Roadmap

Note: this is a work in progress to create a high-level overview of the MoodleNet project. For more granular detail, please check out the milestones in our GitLab issue tracker.

Q1 2018

Conceive

In this phase, we researched our options and came up with a high-level goal for a platform that will be of immediate use to educators. This involved talking to a lot of educators and technologists, and looking to other platforms and services for inspiration.

Q2 2018

Plan

This phase focused on planning how to achieve our high-level goal, deciding on the functionality it should have. We ran a design sprint to ensure we had a coherent plan focused on developing a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). We also hired Mayel, our Technical Architect to ensure that we make the correct technical decisions.

Q3 2018

Develop

In this phase we developed prototypes and worked with Outlandish on the front-end development. We hired Alex, a backend developer, who built out the crucial plumbing using Elixir.

Q4 2018

Iterate

This phase was about iterating existing designs and approaches so we could be laser-focused on producing something of value to educators. We onboarded Ivan as our designer and front-end developer, and brought together the front-end and backend development work. We did some early testing around the sign-up process, and re-imagined it to ensure there's no blockers for testing.


Q1 2019

Test

We're scheduled to launch the first version of MoodleNet to a group of beta testers in January 2019. Our plan is to recruit around 100 existing Moodle users to test the platform, and rapidly iterate the platform based on their feedback. We'll then give them invites to share with friends and colleagues, meaning we grow organically and sustainably.

In addition, we will be working on testing federation so that MoodleNet instances can communicate with one another. This will involve setting up a HQ-run API-as-a-service, which also needs testing.

Q2 2019

Beta launch

Once we've tested both the value proposition and federation, we'll double-down on fixing bugs and responding to user needs before opening registrations. During this quarter we aim to develop a plugin to allow users to send collections from MoodleNet to courses in Moodle Core.

Q3 2019

Extending functionality

After delivering the core functionality of MoodleNet, we'll be adding functionality such as Open Badges integration, searching third-party repositories, and thinking about ways we can implement crowdfunding of openly-licensed resources that have been requested, but don't currently exist.

Q4 2019

Opening registrations

At the Open Edtech Global event, we'll open registrations on MoodleNet so anyone can register. By this point, MoodleNet will be a safe, secure, and scalable app.
