Has anyone else installed this? I am glad it is finally out of beta. The list of features looks sweet. Well done to Martin and his team!!! Their thoroughness should be an example to others software developers around the world.
Question: Will this work with Google's new wireless service?
Jeff
I'm not sure about wireless. That sounds a bit too 21st century. I'm just hoping they add VHS support to Moodle 1.2. That would be a big step forward.
Hi,
believe me if the Beta/VHS decision was one of the hottest discussions there, at Moodle HQ, since the beginning of its history.
Some guys were defending VHS, others Beta and, also, there were people exposing why Super-8 was the best to be implemented in a big chance to become the 21th century standard for sharing contents.
Of course, nobody believed in digital formats, not at all. More yet, basic support to "http" only was added as a joke, because nobody with a bit of perspective can be confident about that silly protocol. It will be a total fiasco, for sure!
Just wait some years... and see what happen!
Ciao

Jeff-Didn't you read the release notes? 1.1 already supports Betamax!
I missed it. 
I am glad though. It means I will not have to convert my copy of Top Gun.

What I am worried about is that the students might use this new feature to watch Ferris Bueller and get some bad ideas from it. Especially here in Chicago, who's to say they won't watch the film and crash whatever the current parade of the week is here? Could Moodle undermine the authority of the teacher? What do you think? Anyone? Anyone?

Funny that you should ask this. I just started reading Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed...BTW, I positively hate school!
And I want to party like it's 1986.
There's over an hour left to this "take everything you read at face-value" day but I think this is an important topic so I'll play it less fallaciously.
Can Moodle (1.1 or 2.0) be used to provide students with a Ferris Bueller experience? You know, all the informal learning, the subversion, the "thinking for yourself," the creative ways to avoid school, the socialization, the enculturation, the friendship, the experimentation with a life in which nothing can go wrong...
This is one situation in which different learning institutions imply different goals.
But there's something to be said about LMS as sandbox. Isn't there?
Jeff, thanks for the links! Surprising that both of these groundbreaking technologies should be announced on the same day. A Sunday, no less.
I, for one, am glad that Moodle had the forethought to license this technology. Without licenses, innovations are impossible.
I hope that Tim O'Reilly has a license for Web 1.1!
BTW, I really today's featured items on Think Geek.

Thanks for those links Alexandre!!! I am putting in my order for the Vilcus Plug Dactyloadapter. I think this is exactly what I have been looking for to help get my children moving in the morning.
