FreeEmbedChat – you’ve never seen a free PHP chat like this for your Moodle site before!
Julie slaps Frankie with a large trout. Remember that line "...slaps... with a large trout"? The early 1990s were the good old days of the Internet age where text ruled the roost. Internet connections were mainly dial-up lines. Chat clients like mIRC and ICQ were all the rage. I should know. I once wasted the equivalent of one whole week's [...]

Moodle Flavours, which was one of the Google Summer of Code projects for 2011 by David Monllaó has just been released.

Sections: a new simple course topic (no numbers)
If you've ever wanted to ditch the topic numbers in your Moodle course for text titles only, the Sections course format is for you.

Ajax Replacement Chat – an improved chat room for your Moodle 1.9 site
I was thinking about Moodle's chat module yesterday. I thought about how my Moodle 1.9.7 site's chat module could be improved. This post is all about chatting in Moodle. Ah yes, online chatting. A major addictive time-waster in most cases. Raise your hand if you have ever wasted more than an hour chatting with others online. My right hand is up. [...]
Moodle Monday: Progress Bar by @timdalton
My current favourite thing about Moodle 2 is the combination of activity completion tracking and conditional activities. With these two additions it has become so much easier for us as staff to keep track of student progress on our courses, and for the students to understand how they should move through the courses we build. This week I [...]
