we now have Balsamiq Mockups installed in our Moodle Tracker. Thanks so much to Peldi Guilizzoni of Balsamiq for the free Moodle.org license!

For a really great demo of how it works, see this video:

This is an amazing tool that I think will revolutionise the way we talk about Moodle interfaces. Exciting stuff!

Absolutely brilliant!!!

I've used it to create a simple changes map for my forum update in MDL-1626.

Good fun, and very helpful way of conveying the ideas simply.

Many thanks,

John

...Martin,

And the obvious next question: 'Is someone turning this into an Activity module for moodle itself?'

Now that would be sweet!

John

I was thinking of trying to make some mockups for my "feedback for all elements" module and this looks like a nice way to do it.

I was thinking of looking at either the latest stable Moodle OR the latest Dev of Moodle 2.0 to see what layout to start from. I'm not sure of two parameters here: You (Martin D) thought it might be fairly easy to implement my suggestions which might mean that it could be put into 1.9.x. But maybe 2.0 is coming soon so it might as well go direct towards that.

This is just in: Links in mockups Balsamiq.

I have a hunch that this will make Balsamiq the ultimate low-fidelity prototype testing tool! Last summer I used OpenOffice Impress for this, but that was hackish.

It is not available yet for the JIRA-integrated version though it seems.
How I wish that this product could be open source...
