Hi Miro, is this suitable for your need: https://moodle.org/plugins/atto_sketch
Excellent ! This is exactly what I was looking for !
Richard I understand completely what you are saying about being paid for
your work. I agree with you (especially when a person is using the
software to make money -- commercial use), but I don't agree with the
subscription model where I have to pay every single year, ... year after
year after year after year, ... it becomes too much, especially if every
single product that I am using wants me to "rebuy" their product every
year. Not to mention that if I ever decide I no longer want to pay/can
afford to pay, I lose all of my own personal work, because it is stuck in a
proprietary format.
With core functionality that poodll seems to be becoming, it would be the
same as having to pay a subscription for an oven every single year, and the
fridge,, and the washing machine, and the dryer ... I can't afford it. But
do I expect the fridge, over, freezer, dryer companies to NOT be paid for
their hard work and development, of course not.
I personally never buy subscription software. If I want a word processor,
I buy a full version. If I want a game, I buy the full version. The only
items that I buy subscriptions for related to education are "The Great
Courses", "Netflix", and "Enchanted Learning" -- all sites that provide
content (data) to me. If it is me creating the content (data), and
somebody else providing the tool, no, I will not buy a subscription, but I
would pay for the tool.
I buy a hammer, but I don't expect that I will have the return the hammer
the following year, and then have to give to the hammer company everything
that I created with that hammer.
This is probably a discussion where we are both going to have to agree to
disagree.

Actually, I think I will submit this as a project proposal to MUA. I still have the old Poodll plugin that you did not have to pay for but totally agree that we need this functionality in core. People should be able to submit drawings, audio and video recordings and teachers should be able to have the same functionality in their editor. If you want to give me specifics of how you think that should look - it would be helpful...
Hi Emma,
as teacher with limited resources I think it is sufficient to have only the drawing tool in Atto.
Audio/video files eat too much disk space on the Moodle server, and for such files, I order students to open their own YouTube accounts and share (unlisted) videos via URL. Likewise, academia is provided with Office 365 services, what is another possibility for storing students/teachers video/big files.
Best, Miro
Understood but other teachers would benefit from a recording plugin - foreign language teachers for example. It is also great for for video feedback. But if it ends up being a huge budget and MUA can't fund it all, then it would be nice to have the option to just do the whiteboard. Of course, it would have to be voted in to get done but I think it would bring some great new functionality.
I confirm that recording audio is really important for language teachers!
It is fairly rare that a hammer needs upgrading. We still have my great grandfathers hammer from the late 1899's. We did replace the head once and the handle twice though.
Folks, when we are talking about money, please donate the guy few bucks ! Here , https://github.com/Syxton/atto_sketch/issues/1#issuecomment-323055976 , pointing to https://www.paypal.me/syxton .
Long live Matthew Davidson and his code !
Hi there Miro
My apologies i am new to these forums, my first time posting , im not a developer ,but assist in online course design and development.I am searching for tools mainly moodle drawing tools which could assist our language (Chinese) students practise character writing, and thats where Moodle-atto_drawing caught my attention . a drawing tool similar to paint ,where students using their cursor could practise their character writing skills. while being supervised by their peers or teacher . We have recently upgraded to Moodle 3.0 and was wondering if this tool works well with it or whats the staus of the plugin at the moment, and if you have any resources that can assist me weigh my options. or would you know any thread that exist that discuss this topic further.
hope for a favourable reply
Thanks
Ralph
