Could someone please provide a little more information about the "built-in Moodle/Drupal course integration" that this module provides. I would like to understand how it works and how it differs to the Moodle Integration Module.

  1. How does this work?
  2. How does this have to be setup?
  3. Will the courses be offered ("taken") in Moodle or via the Course module?
  4. How exactly does SSO work? i.e. are the profiles synced? In which system will the user have to register first?
  5. Can users signup/buy a course on the Drupal website with this module and then have access to it in Moodle?

Thanks in advance

Moodle Integration provides information about courses to drupal but doesn't allow you to actually take them or track progress. We are in the process of preparing course_moodle (stripping out custom code) but it should work exactly as you describe. The course would be taken on the Drupal site, but the Moodle course content is contained in an iframe.

The only requirement so far is that Moodle lies in the same site as Drupal (eg, domain.com/drupal_site/moodle) so that SSO can work. It will log the user in based on the Drupal session.

So in short:
1. course_moodle module, yet to be relased
2. Moodle in a subdirectory of drupal, same DB
3. Taken via Course, content in iframe
4. Register on drupal side, sso'd over to moodle
5. Yes

Could you provide any estimate as to when course_moodle will be available?

Sorry but I'm in the process of evaluating solutions for my website and I'm investigating all options.

Thank you

That is a hard question because at the moment it only supports Moodle 1.9 and it seems silly to release a module for software that will soon be EOL (June 2012).

It is on our roadmap for sure, but I do not have a definite date yet.

Also there is the question about whether course_moodle should be a separate project on d.o. Right now, we're leaning that direction.
But either way, we *could* release course_moodle, but another thing holding that back is it still needs some pretty specific setup and dependencies, which we're working on removing.

Hi Guys,

I see that you are talking about the moodle version in the creation of course_moodle integration, but not with de Drupal version. Are you planning to create de module only for Drupal 6.x or for Drupal 7.x too?

As gkom I'm evaluating options to integrate moodle 2.2 in my Drupal 7 website. The prevision is that I'll start offering the e-learning services in July 2012.

For sure, If I can help with something tell to me.

Thanks in advance.

@isak_manresa: we do plan on a D6 and D7 version, D6 will probably come first as it is closer to completion.

Hi, I am very interested in this module and I am helping for developing a drupal-moodle LMS for my school.

I will use D7 and Moodle 2.2. So will you module work with Moodle 2.2?

Also, will you release the dev. of course_moodle module? I want to test it as soon as possible. And I may help for development too.

Thank you in advance.

Since course_module is not really related to the core functionality of "course", I think a separate module is a good idea.
It's an extra that many people will not require.

As @adamtong when the dev. release of course_moodle module is available I may help for development too.
