>>for me, this is a very interesting question raised by you [Peter] about using Moodle in the Wikimedia movement.
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.
