Revision as of 13:46, 25 May 2011

I'm interested in the process of getting small fixes into Moodle. There seem to be a number of no brainers, and I've often wondered what it needs to get things moving a little. I have also found it hard to follow the tracker. So, this is really list #3.

FORUM MODULE ENHANCEMENTS

See https://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Forum_requirements

Forum: listing of attached files

In some respects, Moodle does not have an easy to use file sharing functionality. (Database if not really easy enough for a basic user) Hence this suggestion for an enhancement. Tracker: http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-27062

Forum/Groups: Allow "Create new discussion for each group"

Tracker item: Allow "Create new discussion for each group" to enable teachers to post the same question for each group with only one posting http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-19670

Forum: locking a thread/forum

Forum Post: 2006 - http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=45359

Forum: subscribe at the thread level

I notice in the tracker http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-1626 there is a request for the ability for notification (subscription) at the thread level, not just the forum level. It says it is in 2.0 in the tracker. What does this mean? Is this definite, since it is not mentioned in the roadmap? Is it too small an enhancement to justify comment in the roadmap? To what level of detail does the roadmap get maintained?

Forum: export posts at end of term

Tracker issue: https://docs.moodle.org/en/User:Derek_Chirnside

http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-19254

Forum: have ForumNG in core

Tracker issue: http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-21538

ForumNG Pages

MEDIA MANAGEMENT, LINK/UPLOAD SIMPLIFICATIONS

Forum posts

  1. Resize video

GROUPS

Groups Self enrolment

http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-13962 http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-1310

SORTED Site wide groups

Now called cohorts

Groups: CSV creation of cohorts

Tracker: Add ability to upload to a cohort via Upload users http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-26965

A few forum postings I may like to look back at later

  1. Page Naming etc 2.0
  2. Forum subscriptions
  3. Wordpress and Moodle
  4. Benchmarks
  5. Misc comments incl Dim Dim etc
  6. Resize video
  7. Course completion
  8. Dependencies aka Course completion
  9. Moodle UI
  10. Decaf

SORTED Book module and 2.0

https://docs.moodle.org/en/Book_module#Books_and_Moodle_2.0

But still not in the core I note there is a request for the book module to be in the core. http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-283 But it does not have a fix version indicated. Does that mean the request is not considered significant to be included in 2.0??

Multiple file linking

  1. Folder option works.
  2. Tick boxes?

Multiple file upload

  1. Using zip files: works, but are staff using it?

Links to Content Management Systems

The Moodle term is 'external repository' and an API is planned to enable access of a range of external possibilities.

Copying File into Moodle

Linking to File from Moodle

A scenario: Teacher linking to an external file as a new resource (think video repository)

  1. Teacher wants to display a file in the repository
  2. Teacher clicks the "Choose a resource" button
  3. Teacher is presented with a simple file picker to choose a file (with a menu to switch between multiple configured repositories)
  4. Teacher chooses a file in an external repository
  5. Link to the file is COPIED into Moodle and stored by the resource module
  6. Link is marked as owned by that user
  7. Whenever someone wants to follow that link, the resource module controls access (see Development:File API )

https://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Repository_API

Objectives:

  1. Allow all Moodle users to easily bring content into Moodle from external repositories
  2. Provide a consistent interface to any external repository, for any Moodle module

Mr Cute (A fully finded JISC project) http://www.learningobjectivity.com/mrcute/ http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/reppres/sue/mrcute

"MrCute is an acronym for Moodle Repository Create Upload Tag Embed, and is intended as an optional Moodle module and block which allow direct and straightforward access to instititutional and other repositories of online learning materials."

SORTED: Blog with comments

https://docs.moodle.org/en/Student_projects/Blog_improvements

There is a lot of talk about blogs on the various forums in Moodle.org, and in particular the Moodle implmentation of them.

Particularly here:

  1. http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=94623#p418128 and here:
  2. http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=44830&mode=3

There is an issue tracker here: http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-8776 but there doesn't seem to be any sort of focus to the discussion in the details. From the roadmap: comments are coming. What about the other suggestions in the tracker? Where do we find out what is coming and what is planned? How are decisions arrived at?
