Moodle 2.0

[danIT]

Just installed Moodle 2.0 Dev build and I like it alot! Not sure when its due for release but seen one or two posts which seem to hint towards April-ish time (Perhaps in time for the Moot?).

 

One thing which i like is a much improved WYSIWG Editor, the current WYSIWYG Editor is really dated and i think was abandoned by the people developing it so didnt ever move forward.

 

Also, seems to be a number of 'easy' ways to link to external file respositories like Moodle-to-Moodle, WebDav, Flickr, Alfresco etc...

 

Finally, Conditional Activities, the ability to create activities with a set of criteria setting out when and how the activity is displayed to students.

 

E.g.

 

# Web Resource Two is visible to the student but blocked. they can’t access it until they view Web Resource One

 

# Once they have viewed both Web Resources a Topic Quiz will appear as if by magic.

 

Obviously a lot of other combinations can be created.

 

Im sure there are plenty of other things to be found out, anyone who wants to take a look at Moodle 2.0 drop me a PM and ill give you access to my install.

The moodleman (Julian Ridden) did a good screencast of conditional activities here and I agree; it will have loads of uses...Moodle 2.0 Sneak Peak - Conditional Activities | The Moodleman Blog
