Open Learning Commons combines elements of Blackboard and Facebook - News

"The love child of Blackboard and Facebook has a name - the Open Learning Commons.

The new platform prototype, launched by the College of Liberal and Professional Studies, allows interested people within and outside the Penn community to participate in classroom activities from the Web.

The first class covers global environmental sustainability and combines coursework with social networking."

Import learning objects into your Moodle courses

I did not surprise when I saw this tool.This module provides your Moodle server with an easy access to learning material stored within any GLOBE repositories; it gives you the opportunity to search, view metadata, download and import learning objects into your Moodle courses.

The module called "GLOBE resource for MOODLE 1.9.X" and it requires Moodle 1.9 or higher.

I have not tried it yet but it has demonstration video and contact person for support.
