Dynamic is not a word that comes to mind when you think of Moodle, WEB 2.0. I don’t think so.
Web 2.0 Wikitionary;
1. (Internet) The second generation of the World Wide Web, especially the movement away from static webpages to dynamic and shareable content and social networking.

Moodle is definitely Web 2.0 without but without all the built in stuff. Moodle is a framework that can support Web 2.0 which is way more important than passing a Web 2.x litmus test of ajax. I use Moodle with students to teach Web 2.x concepts and it is great! Thanks to Doug and the Moodle development team.

I agree that Moodle is not at the bleeding edge of web technology. But web2.0 is a pretty subjective term. Depends on your definition; according to Wikipedia: "The term "Web 2.0" (2004-present) is commonly associated with web applications that facilitate interactive information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design, and collaboration on the World Wide Web..." [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web2.0]. In that case I would say it passes. But if it's all about Ajax and Flash, then you're correct: it's hardly "web 2.0". Great addition to an ongoing discussion termed #Moodlewish on twitter: http://zaidlearn.blogspot.com/2010/05/join-moodlewish-twitter-stream.html

Good work well done. Is Moodle Web 2.0? I don’t think so. Many of the products tied into it are, but Moodle itself is not. Moodle is still largely a Web 1.0 product devoid of Flash and Ajax, built on a ‘Click, wait, Fresh’ platform, WEB 2.0 no, an antiquated PHP platform, Yes.

It is still a very good product for what is does, solid secure and robust. It is still very ugly and hard for many people to love. I was hoping Moodle 2.0 was going to take a Frog VLE type approach, but no, more of the same, and who knows when Moodle 2.0 is going be released now. Keep up the good work, cheers Darren
