Complementing forums by adding Facebook-like Walls to your Moodle page

Hi All

I wonder what, if any, pedagogical impact, Walls will have on a Moodle course page. Like, can forums be made 'obsolete' by the
novelty of Walls on a Moodle coursepage?

Here's my Wall written for Moodle 1.9.x.
ebpage, book, etc.). 

 

Working site:

I've managed to use iframes to create multiple walls for each coursepage. I've requested permission from Srinivas Tamada for permission to resell
my made-for-Moodle-code which is based on his work on the Facebook-like Wallscript version 3.0. See http://moodurian.blogspot.com. Although
the Educator part of me tells me to consider making the code free for the rest of the world to enjoy.

Here's the same Wall written for Moodle 2.x.

Working site:

Any feedback on the features?

Frankie-  I like the layout on the working page (http://www.moodurian.com/course/view.php?id=38). It really moves away from the technical look of Moodle and into a more concise, intuitive-navigation website.  With all the things you can embed into your wall, I think students- especially young students- will welcome the freedom to be creative. Teachers will appreciate the simplicity of running the course. 

It's been fun to see your wheels turnin'. smile
