moodleNet - open social media platform for educators
-
We've already got a request for the Moodle Open Source Learning Platform but moodleNet their "open social media platform for educators" is pretty cool too.
It's basically an ActivityPub based federated social network.
A new open social media platform for educators, initially focused on the collaborative curation of collections of open resources. MoodleNet will be an integral part of the Moodle ecosystem, sustainably empowering communities of educators to share and learn from each other to improve the quality of education.
Set up your own MoodleNet instance
MoodleNet is Free and Open Source Software (under the AGPL licence) which can federate with other instances of MoodleNet and other compatible ActivityPub servers. You are encouraged to run an instance yourself, to increase the diversity and resiliency of the federated network.

great find! i think one of the missing categories on Cloudron is education, for example selling e-courses or video lectures for members. or members can create their own classes.

Nice find.
Been a while since I checked in with moodle. Did not know what moodlenet was. Found this walk through helpful
Also very curious about Moodlework (also new)

Ah yes, nice, that's the video of the slide deck I shared above.
And yeah, the reason I'm aware of moodleNet is that I know Doug Belshaw who made those slides/ that video
(we're both members of co-ops who are members of CoTech, although knew him before that too, actually) -
MoodleNet 1.0 beta was recently released.
https://web.archive.org/web/20200612160715/https://blog.moodle.net/2020/moodlenet-v1-0-beta/But at the same time much of the team working on it left Moodle and created a "friendly fork" called CommonsPub (although I note on their website they now describe MoodleNet as a fork of them)
