#MoodleNet

7.5 years ago I had an idea for 'Emoji ID'. I still think it's a good idea even if it's just the UX layer for decentralised identifiers.

Here's my original short blog post: blog.dougbelshaw.com/emoji-tri

We thought about an implementation for #MoodleNet but deprioritised it: web.archive.org/web/2018120311

Falls ihr bisher #MoodleNet zum Teilen von #OER bzw. #OpenEducationalResources genutzt habt oder nutzen wolltet - dieses wird zum 24. April abgeschaltet.

Much of what we’re working on will continue, including all the initiatives we’ve already progressed this year. However, there are also a few areas we’ll be stepping back from:

    MoodleNet: We’ll cease HQ-driven development of MoodleNet. The platform code will remain available on GitHub and can be adopted, used, or enhanced by anyone interested in continuing that work. We encourage the community to self-organise and explore those opportunities. Access to moodle.net will be removed from public view on 24th April 2026, in line with the Moodle LMS 5.2 release date.

Eigentlich fände ich es ja immer noch lustig, so ein kleines LinkedIn/Social Network für #OER aufzuziehen wo alle ihre neuesten (oder geremixten) Werke (als externe Links) teilen können / anderen Content empfehlen. (Aus #MoodleNet wurde ja nichts soweit ich weiß.) Open Source HumHub humhub.com/de/ könnte man dafür vielleicht erweitern / zuschneiden.

Aber gibt halt Urheberrechts- & Haftungsfragen, die damit einhergehen wieder.Als Privatperson bindet man sich das ja eher nicht ans Bein.

Moodlenet Course resources

#Moodlenet is an excellent source of freely reusable learning resources, especially for #moodle Some of the richest content can be found by selecting the Course (backup) type.

@moodle
Many thanks to @martin and THE crew for my 20 great years ❣️
My thanks also go to the many other great people with whom I have been able to advance ideas over the years.
Let's make moodle even better. And share your experiences and results in one of the Moodle forums on moodle.org or

sharing materials to #moodlenet is still an experimental feature in #moodle 4.3, but importing materials, including whole courses from moodle.net/ , is working. (maybe a bit TOO easily for teachers? )

"MoodleNet may be used in two ways: via Moodle's main service, Moodle.Net or by installing your own instance of MoodleNet." Quelle: docs.moodle.org/moodlenet/Main
Damit könnten über Grenzen (Schule, Landkreis, Bundesland, ...) zusammenarbeitende Instanzen, ähnlich wie bei mastodon, betrieben werden.

From P475
"Dispiritingly and despite the intensive reliance on technology for education
during the COVID-19 pandemic, there remain, in many countries, no public
content options for public education on the internet."

Moodlenet is gaining additional interesting features in the soon to be released Moodle 4.3 so I hope it will start to help address some of these issues.

🎶 On the 8th day of Christmas, Catalyst gave to me...

a merry tip from @samwisefox

🎁 Save time by reviewing open educational resources (#OER) and, if permitted, adapt them to fit your context. Including resources on #MoodleNet

@linos @martin I guess some people over at #MoodleNet will by now regret firing/alienating the whole dev team of the first MoodleNet version that was developed with #ActivityPub / Fediverse integration in mind (and then was the basis for @bonfire ).

@martin Your comment "I feel like this is getting urgent ..." in the MoodleNet issue tracker for federation designs made me smile today! :mastolove:

Didn't have space to also mention that I worked at Moodle as PM for #MoodleNet which was originally going to be a federated social network for educators sharing openly-licensed resources, and has been forked / evolved into something quite different with @bonfire!

I've been into #decentralisation since the early days of bitttorrent and am a big believer in the political, social, and technical benefits of peer-to-peer and non-hierarchical relations 🤩
