On February 4th 2009, Chris met with a colleague from the Learning and Teaching Services at the University of Sheffield to discuss Moodle, the Content Management System that the CEP project is using. Chris' colleague informed him that in 2010, the University is going to review its current Learning Environment, called MOLE (which is based on WebCT, now run by Blackboard), and it is very likely to either update to the latest version of Blackboard, which operates as a portal, or to switch over to Moodle.
This is great news for the CEP project, as either of these outcomes will vindicate the choice of Moodle as the preferred CMS. If the University of Sheffield opts for the new version of Blackboard, it should be possible to add in course modules either via feeds to the front page, or to formally port the Moodle materials across into MOLE (so long as SCORM compatability issues are observed). If the University opts for using Moodle, it should be even easier to link the newly developed Moodle learning materials into the University's new Moodle system.
