Moodle 2 Activity Tool Guide for Instructors by Sue Harper - Compare the functionality and pedagogical advantages of Moodle 2 Activity tools (Add an activity). Adapted from Joyce Seitzinger.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".

Since Moodle 2.0, the admin/cli/cron.php script can only be run via the command line.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: The upgrade process can be complex, but moving to Moodle 2 straight away is not always the best option. Some plugins are not yet compatible, so those who are tied to their add-ons may want to investigate whether a Moodle 2 upgrade is currently the best option. Krassa, Anna (4 October 2013).
