Hello Moodlers,

Welcome to a new series of communications called "Functionality with Moodle".

1. Introduction

We are aware that Moodle is wonderful, but no one can cover all your teaching and learning technology needs on their own. This is why we have started several efforts to understand what you integrate with Moodle and to communicate how we support you in these integrations.

3. Plugins directory

https://moodle.org/plugins is the main point of information for things that connect with Moodle or extend Moodle capabilities. As we understand that Moodle is about always used together with other tools, we have started to work on the improvements on this important tool via some focus groups. We'll be communicating here the improvements that we carry out so that you can tell us early what you like and what you don’t.

4. Functionality with Moodle

In these pages, you will find an in-depth explanation of a topic, plus an invitation to visit our Certified Integrations, which are solutions that we have vetted to work exceptionally well for a given functionality.

So far, we have been able to produce three items on high impact topics:

More will be coming soon, watch out for the next one on data synchronisation!
