Brave new world: The Moodle/ Google Wave
Hi,
I was looking at Google Wavefor a different purpose – but some people integrate Moodle and Wave
Moodle Wave: Reinventing the VLE using Widget technologies”
Interesting to read Martin D’s comments:
“Just realised I never actually posted about Wave anywhere yet. I saw the Wave video the first day it was published and was intrigued and amazed like the rest of you. Like most truly lasting advancements, it takes a lot of ideas we are already used to and combines them in a way that is obviously better and more usable. As to how this affects learning management systems like Moodle, I don’t think it will totally replace them (as some have been saying). Moodle (and similar systems) are (like it or not!) more about the *management* of learning at a higher level than this, a system of control and authentication that supports institutional policy and practice.”
Hmm – maybe …
or
“However, what I do think will happen is that many of the activities in Moodle will be replaced by services like these. Even in the very short term I can see Waves replacing Wikis and Blogs and Forums all over the place. Not everyone will want to use Google accounts for everything, and not everyone will want to run their own wave servers, but there will be many who do.”
Yes, that would be a step into the right direction …
