Anybody has the similiar idea?


Integration of Civicspaces + Moodle + Elgg + new Drupal modules.(without LDAP)

  1. Moodle, Drupal, Civicrm, Civiclabs and Elgg working together with priority for Drupal as main framework.

  1. Moodle, Civicrm, Elgg and Civiclabs working as modules at the Drupal with rich possibilities for customizing settings.


2.1. Moodle integration (for example):

  • settings of Moodle in drupal/administer/modules.

  • Layout template (CSS) for Moodle and Drupal with keeping specific interface for Drupal and Moodle

  • Rebuilding user.module from drupal for some specific information from Moodle, for example: enrolled courses, pm, teacher or student, last login, information from Moodle/gradebook module etc.

  • One-sign on process (there is very simple one sign on module for drupal and moodle).

  • Without duplication of data from Moodle-profile and Drupal-profile, all that information automatically copied from Drupal-registration process.

  • Selecting some useful modules and blocks from Moodle repository for Academic use.

  • Etc.


2.2. Elgg integration (There is Elgg as Moodle Module we need Elgg as Drupal module).


    • Sharing information between Elgg, other blocks1 and Drupal.

    • Common layout/themes engine.

    • Look at the CATALYST


2.3. CivicSpace ...,

    • customization of some specific forms, for reuse.

    • Common layout/themes engine.


2.4. CivicCRM,

    • templates for academic society.

    • common layout/themes engine.

    • Sharing information from Moodle calendar and others.etc.

    • There is civicCrm for drupal as module.


2.5. Some new modules for Drupal:

    • information about publications (based on customization of drupal/modules/forms from civicSpace)

    • some staff module showing information about staff of academic society for public.

    • New students - recruitment process of new students

    • Etc.

  1. One installation process.

  2. Sharing information between each block from databases (minimizing of duplication of data at the database)


  1. Common update script and backup mechanism for all components (engines of each block and modules)

1block As block I understand: Moodle, Elgg, CivicSpace modules, CivicCRM

You say "look at the CATALYST". Does that refer to us? wink

The Catalyst team has done a lot of work in the upcoming 0.6 release of Elgg, which means that Moodle-Elgg integration works almost out-of-the-box. Look at my user profile here, and at the "developer news" entry in the Elgg website. We are needing help testing the soon-to-be-tagged 0.6RC1.

We also work with Drupal but we haven't done much Moodle integration yet...

Anybody has some success story about integration of drupal with moodle? I know that there is some module about one-sign in, but maybe someone could tell something more about that issue?

Yep:   DlPortal: Drupal/Moodle distance education portal.

Right now there is just a powerpoint, the interesting stuff about integration and features added starts about slide 20. We'll have demo accounts set up pretty soon, and will also publish the documentation from the process in the next few weeks.

Michael,

How are you coming along on your MOODLE/Drupal integration project?
Am interested in setting one up for NCNM in Portland (still hoping to get down your way sometime for a face-to-face chat).  I've tried Cas Nuy's 2005 Drupal_MOODLE script without success on a Drupal 4.7.2 / MOODLE 1.6 installation, am wondering if a script exists presently that will work.

thanks,

Hi Will, the integration is coming along, you can see it here:

http://dlportal.humboldt.edu

We'll have some demo courses and accounts set up next week (it will be part of my presentation at the Online Teaching and Learning conference in San Diego on the 16th).

Some colleagues, Jeff Graham and Andy Alm are working on using pubcookie for single sign on. In my opinion, this is a better way to go, as it is designed (by UofWashington) for SSO for multiple apps.

You would be most welcome to drop by if you get time!
