Mary Cooch has posted a number of videos on YouTube about Moodle, the latest showcasing new features found in the upcoming Moodle 2.0, now push back to Summer 11. Despite the delay, I’m still excited to see Moodle 2.0, as a number of features really help move it outside the traditional pigeonhole of the LMS.

Because we’ve been anticipating its release since early 2008 my co-worker Ken jokes that Moodle 2.0 is vaporware, the Duke Nukem Forever of LMS. I joked that we should call it Twoodle. But seriously, I’m still hoping we’ll see an official, stable release by Fall 2010.
