MoodleNet is an open, social, media platform for educators, initially focused on sharing and curating collections of open content. It is a central place from where educators can easily detect quality content to meet the needs of their learners and courses. You can either use MoodleNet Central, the global public MoodleNet, or install your own instance of MoodleNet. Read the MoodleNet documentation for more information about MoodleNet.
Course settings
If the admin has enabled MoodleNet and the appropriate capabilities are allowed (they are allowed by default), teachers can share activities and/or whole courses to MoodleNet.
Teachers can share a single activity from Activity navigation > More > Share to MoodleNet.
Teachers can share whole courses from Course navigation > More > Share to MoodleNet.
(Note these courses are backup files, not links, so they don't update automatically. See the forum discussion Autoupdate courses shared to MoodleNet )
To share parts of a course:
- Enable edit mode;
- Click Bulk actions;
- Select the items to be shared;
- Click Share to MoodleNet from the sticky footer at the bottom of the screen.
From Course navigation > More > MoodleNet Share progress, teachers and others with appropriate capabilities can see the send progress of courses and items they have uploaded to MoodleNet in any course.
Capabilities
Site administration settings
MoodleNet inbound settings
As an administrator you can connect to an instance of MoodleNet so course teachers can browse for and import content.
- From Site administration > Advanced features, make sure Enable MoodleNet integration (inbound) is checked. (It is enabled by default.)
- From Site administration > General > MoodleNet settings, check the settings in the link MoodleNet inbound settings.
- Optionally, from Site administration > Courses > Activity chooser > Activity chooser settings, select MoodleNet from the footer dropdown. This will then display a link in the Activity chooser.
MoodleNet outbound settings
As an administrator you can connect to an instance of MoodleNet so that course teachers or others with the capability moodlenet:shareactivity and/or moodlenet:sharecourse can send course content to the selected MoodleNet site.
- From Site administration > Development > Experimental settings, check the box Enable sharing to MoodleNet (outbound)
- You will then have an extra setting (Enable sharing to MoodleNet (outbound)) from Site administration > General > MoodleNet settings, prompting you to set up a MoodleNet OAuth 2 service.
- From Site administration > Server > OAuth2 services, click the MoodleNet button and set up your service. See OAuth 2 MoodleNet service.
- Once the service is created, go to Site administration > General > MoodleNet outbound settings and set the OAuth 2 service to the service you just created.
- When everything is configured correctly, users with the Capabilities/moodle/moodlenet:shareactivity and Capabilities/moodle/moodlenet:sharecourse will be able to share to MoodleNet.
