Announcing the CLAMP Moodle Exchange

The Collaborative Liberal Arts Moodle Exchange is pleased to announce the launch of the CLAMP Moodle Exchange (CME). The site is the successor to the NITLE Moodle Exchange (NME) that was hosted by NITLE for the last several years and served as the launching off point for many of CLAMP’s efforts.

The CLAMP Moodle Exchange provides a place for instructional technologists, developers, and other Moodle enthusiasts to meet and discuss the open source learning management system. The new Moodle Exchange is free to use and open to the NITLE, CLAMP and the larger Moodle community.

We’ve migrated all of the content from the old NME to the new CLAMP Moodle Exchange, although we’ve archived much of the older or unused sections of the site.

You can log into the site using your original NME username, but you will need to reset your password when you do so. The site is accessible at:

http://cme.clamp-it.org

CLAMP Members: Please note that you’ll need to use your old NME username to login, NOT your CLAMP username. Because the Moodle Exchange will be frequented by members of both CLAMP and NITLE, we’ve decided to maintain its stand-alone authentication.

Moodle 1.9.9+LAE v1.1.4 available for download

Moodle 1.9.9+LAE v1.1.4 is available for download. This is a security release that backports fixes from Moodle 1.9.10 to Moodle 1.9.9. It supersedes the Moodle 1.9.9+LAEv1.1.1 and LAE v1.1.2 releases. It also incorporates a number of bug fixes and new features developed at Hack/Doc Fest VII at Furman University, and fixes a bug with TinyMCE 3.x that was introduced in LAE 1.1.2.

Visit the project page to learn more and download the code.

Moodle 1.9.9+LAE v1.1.3 Pending [update]

CLAMP will soon be releasing Moodle 1.9.9+LAE v1.1.3, which fixes an issue with TinyMCE not displaying in text fields. We hope to have this release out by the 1/28/2011.

The fix for this problem is straight forward and involves updating a few lines of /lib/editor/tinymce.js.php; details can be found in this Redmine Development thread.

Update: We’ve released Moodle 1.9.9+LAE v1.1.4, which fixes this problem. We skipped over 1.1.3 for strictly logistical reasons.
