Hi Alex,

> can help you to accelerate this process?

It would be helpful if someone can let us know what are the main architectural changes in Moodle 2.0.

LAMS has all the "hooks" to do the integration... and these hooks are the same we use for Moodle, Blackboard, .LRN, Sakai, MS SharePoint, etc. So we would need to know how the new Moodle2 modules are built and then identify where we (from Moodle) make use of these LAMS hooks.

I'll be looking at Moodle 2 by the end of this week, so I'll keep you posted on my findings.

Thanks,

Ernie

Hi Alex,

Yes, installed Moodle 2 (RC 1 http://is.gd/fxNjA) from scratch even compiling Apache and PHP from source. Attached you can find the instructions -pdf document.

It looks quite nice. I really like the new interface a lot cleaner.

When trying to install the lamstwo module, it simply failed and said it couldn't install because it needs to be upgraded. However, it doesn't tell what needs to be upgraded (which it will be really nice for us).

Nevertheless, I download a the NEWMODULE.ZIP (http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-1385) that Moodle has as example for tool developers, so I'll be using that to compare to our current module and do changes accordingly.

Thanks,

Ernie
