Is the answer linking Moodle and Drupal?

I wish OpenAcademic would hurry up.

I say that partly in jest, but partly for real. They are working on solutions that I am really looking forward to trying out. I am not savvy enough to figure out the details of OpenID, but it may be possible to link my Drupal user authentication and Moodle authentication. Obviously I would want Drupal to pull from Moodle, but not vice versa.

I should learn more. Maybe I can figure this out. We’ll see!

    I’m currently working on expanding the open source tools for doing data exchange using the Schools Interoperability Framework. This is potentially a more general solution to this problem, although it will still take some development effort to SIF-enable various open source applications.

    Hello, Chris,

    RE: “I wish OpenAcademic would hurry up.” — Me too :)

    All kidding aside, we’re getting there — Part of the reason that we are moving slowly is that we want to make sure we get it right —

    And, by “getting it right” I mean making sure we have a system that is easy to install, intuitive to use, and will scale easily for both the individual user/school and collaboration between multiple schools.

    It’s a broad target, but we want to be sure that the tools we develop don’t exclude the smaller players who might not have access to a well-funded technology infrastructure.

    So, sorry about the wait, but it is drawing to a close — trust me.
