I agree with you, Elly! The philosophical foundation of Moodle has many
similarities with the Wikimedia philosophy: the goal of increasing
educational access to all. Moodle is incredibly flexible & because the code
is open we could develop a very specific version of it which could be very
useful for Wikimedia-based education projects.
I have worked with Moodle for many years, mostly as a curriculum developer
(not a coder, unfortunately!) & I think it would be very exciting to be
involved with such a project. What do you think about proposing an idea
like this as a project for the Google Summer of Code
<https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/>? I know Moodle has been involved
with the GSoC for many years.

Hi Peter,

I would also love to hear more about experiences.
One thing I would like to share in this context is this presentation from
Doug Belshaw at the MoodleMoot conference
<https://moodlemoot.org/mootieuk19/> in London this year in April.
He is talking about how they want to enlarge Moodle as a social network.
Maybe this is intersting:

for us, I do not think that
