Moodle is a landmark open source project, alongside other very influential php based platforms of the early "dynamic web" era. Still works "fine" in certain contexts.
But it is very dated by now. Not so much in its look and feel (which definitely does not chase every hip refresh of the frontend world) but in terms of its overall backend design, its technical debt and ability to evolve as a platform (API's, content generation, plugin development etc).
With dramatic developments as we move into the Web 3.0 era (federated platforms, ML/AI) there is a question mark if the initiative and community have the vision, resources and execution ability to transform it into something that will be relevant ten years from now.
I hope it does. It would certainly be tremendous added value on top of everything that its has delivered so far.
- cpach 3y agoHow does ML and AI affect a project such as Moodle?
- nologic01 3y agoIs that a trick question? The project even had an urgent consultation on the matter. Being downvoted by people "who know better" the state of Moodle so not inclined to spend further time on this.
- cpach 3y agoI was asking since I’m not very familiar with neither Moodle nor ML. I couldn’t see the connection between the two, so I was curious to know more about it.
- RobotToaster 3y agoMoodleNet is some kind of attempt to make it federated, but I'm not familiar with the details
