Moodle 2 Administration

Product Information

If you have added optional or customised plugins (whether your own custom developments or from the plugins and modules database) or are using a non-core theme you must note that these will not work in Moodle 2.0+. While some plugins have been modified to work in Moodle 2.0+ at the time of writing most have not. The themes system is completely different in 2.0+ and all custom themes will require a complete rewrite. Open-Source Learning Management System". Moodlerooms.

What is the difference between Moodle 2 and Moodle 1.9?

Moodle has continued to evolve since 1999 (since 2001 with the current architecture). It has been translated into over 100 different languages and is accessible in many countries worldwide. [30] Institutions can add as many Moodle servers as needed without having to pay license fees. The Open University of the UK currently uses a Moodle installation for their 200,000 users [31] while the UK government uses a Moodle installation for their Civil Service Learning platform serving half a million employees. [32] Moodle conferences [ edit ] Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) is a standard way of integrating rich learning applications ,(often remotely hosted and provided through third-party services) with educational platforms. Moodle uses the External Tool activity to act as an 'LTI consumer' as standard and will act as an 'LTI provider' using a plugin. Martin Dougiamas, who has graduate degrees in computer science and education, wrote the first version of Moodle. Dougiamas started a Ph.D. to examine "the use of open source software to support a social constructionist epistemology of teaching and learning within Internet-based communities of reflective inquiry." Although how exactly social constructivism makes Moodle different from other eLearning platforms is difficult to show, it has been cited as an important factor by Moodle adopters. [23] [24] Other Moodle adopters, such as the Open University in the UK, have pointed out that Learning Management Systems can equally be seen as "relatively pedagogy-neutral".

[19] [ citation needed] Interoperability [ edit ] Fans of Moodle will be glad to know that it retains all the positives of the previous version, but adds a great deal more. Benefits of a Moodle 2 upgrade include:

Moodle provides the most flexible tool-set to support both blended learning and 100% online courses. Configure Moodle by enabling or disabling core features, and easily integrate everything needed for a course using its complete range of built-in features, including external collaborative tools such as forums, wikis, chats and blogs. Moodle runs without modification on Unix, Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, MacOS, NetWare and any other systems that support PHP and a database, including web host providers.You must be running version 1.9 and it's probably a good idea to upgrade to the latest 1.9 if you have not done so already.
