Other links/thoughts:
Moodle 2.0
- Better navigation via the new nav block
- Enhanced Settings block – context sensitive
- Customizable “My Home” page
- My private files
- File picker — used whenever you want to select and/or upload a file; draws from repositories, flickr, private files, document management systems, public sites, etc.
- Text box editor is resizable
- Workshop module completely re-written; good for peer assessment and moves away from the sage on the stage
- Community block / hub — could be very powerful
