The newest version of Moodle is on its way and like it’s predecessors is set to have a huge positive effect on education while keeping Moodle at the forefront of eLearning technology.
Moodle 2.0 will look even better, is more user-friendly and has additional features that will benefit teachers and learners alike.
The following list documents the new and improved features you can expect to find in Moodle 2.0 that will make life easier for course creators:
• Navigation in Moodle 2.0 is now implemented consistently with a navigation block on each page that can be hidden by the user until needed.
• Users also have much more control over where they can position blocks.
• The new text (HTML) editor offers more opportunities for embedding content from other sites, such as Flickr and youTube. It will also work with web browsers such as Safari, Chrome and Opera.
• The Portfolio API offers the opportunity to send uploaded work to other sites eg ePortfolio Mahara, Google Docs etc.
• The workshop module has been improved to offer advanced grading methods and peer-assessment.
• The quiz module is user-friendlier with improved display and search facility for the quiz question bank.
• External blogs can be included within the navigation of Moodle 2.0
• Comment blocks can now easily be added to blogs
• In fact you can add comment blocks to almost anywhere on Moodle 2.0
• Moodle 2.0 includes 20 brand new themes
• The new conditional activities feature allows teachers to set certain criteria which must be met before students progress within a course
• The new completion tracking feature is a way for Moodle 2.0 to store whether or not an activity has been completed
• The new community hub feature will allow students to easily find courses around the world they want to enroll on
• The community hub will also make it easy for educators to find and download course templates from other educators.
As Moodle 2.0 is currently only at the stage of Preview 3, all of these features are subject to change depending on how site testing goes.
