I have a deeply-held belief in the importance of unrestricted education and
|
||||
empowered teaching, and Moodle is the main way I can contribute to the realisation
|
||||
of these ideals.
|
||||
|
||||
<P>As Moodle gains in maturity, I hope its directions are influenced by the community
|
||||
of developers and users. A dynamic database of proposed features and their status
|
||||
can be found at <A TARGET=_top HREF="http://bugs.moodle.org/">bugs.moodle.org</A>.
|
||||
Your <a href="developer.html">contributions</a> in the form of ideas, code,
|
||||
feedback and promotion are all very welcome.
|
||||
<P>Now that 1.0 has been released, most of my efforts will concentrate on the

|
||||
<P>Now that 1.0.1 has been released, most of my efforts will concentrate on the
|
||||
macro level (supporting larger classes and integrating into larger institutions)
|
||||
and the micro level (improving support for decisions and processes, for both
|
||||
teachers and learners).
|
||||
|
||||
<P>The next 6 months or so I will have to slow down my own development a little
|
||||
(because I have a PhD thesis to finish). During this time there'll be a number
|
||||
of small upgrades 1.0.2, 1.0.3 etc that I expect will contain minor new features
|
||||
and polishing. I'll also be working with people adding new plugins (support for
|
||||
more databases, new modules and new themes).
|
||||
|
||||
<P>Sometime in the first half of 2003 you can expect a major release (1.1, maybe 1.5) that has
|
||||
new features like:
|
||||
|
||||
<UL>
|
||||
<LI>Full user account management (eg connection to external databases, import/export etc)
|
||||
<LI>Full grade management
|
||||
<LI>Ability to define groups and group work
|
||||
<LI>Automatic linking in texts to uploaded readings (like Wiki)
|
||||
<LI>Online support for teachers to design and maintain classes
|
||||
<LI>Online support for students in collaboration processes
|
||||
</UL>
