Toward Moodle 2.0

[Zhigang Sun]

Dear all friends,

Long time no see.

Silence does not mean null. We were keeping busy on upgrading Online Judge, Anti-Plagiarism and Hot Question to Moodle 2.0. Today, I will take the latest updates to you.

But first, you must know that this is perhaps the last news announced here. Since all the projects has been migrated to github.com, you'd better to use github's social features to get the future updates. Just simply watch these projects and/or follow me on github. The feeling is just like facebook and twitter.

Online Judge

We totally redesigned and nearly recoded this plugin. Now it is in beta version and you can get it at https://github.com/hit-moodle/moodle-local_onlinejudge

The most exciting changes include:

1. It is possible to add more judge engines easily
2. It is possible to develop new plugins which call my online judge to judge submissions. Wish there will be online judge question, online judge activity and etc. soon.
3. Multi-files assignment supported (sandbox only)

Read the README to know more details.

MOSS Plagiarism Plugin

The Anti-Plagiarism plugin was renamed to moss plagiarism plugin since Moodle 2.0 provides a global anti-plagiarism framework. The latest code is at https://github.com/hit-moodle/moodle-plagiarism_moss.

But you must know that it is still under development and definitely unstable. Any attempts to test it is not recommended. Just watch it please. We wish it will be working in September.

Hot Question

The hot question for Moodle 2.0 is usable now. Download it from https://github.com/hit-moodle/moodle-mod_hotquestion .

We added some AJAX features in the latest version. Therefore, it is better than before.

That's all. Any testing, comments, suggests, translations and patches are welcome. Feel free to post on the issues page of the corresponding project.

Thanks to you all !
