advantages of an open lms: tying the world to moodle
DESCRIPTION
Presentation 24 May 2011 to the SUNY Delihi MoodleMoot 2011We haven't tied the whole world to Moodle (except through the Map activity that we've added to bring in Google Maps functionality), but the ability of Moodle to be a central platform that we can integrate other functions into is an important part of our development efforts. This talk will present our experiences and lessons learned in integrating a variety of applications into our Moodle system, including: library support for classes; senior project submissions; streaming media services (Kaltura); e-portfolios (Mahara); and live classroom environments (Big Blue Button).TRANSCRIPT
