+Moodle - the world's open source learning platform
-Book module for Moodle - version 1.2 (stable release)
-===============================================================================
-Created by:
- Petr Skoda (skodak) - most of the coding & design
- Mojmir Volf - CSS formatted printer friendly format
+Moodle <https://moodle.org> is a learning platform designed to provide
+educators, administrators and learners with a single robust, secure and
+integrated system to create personalised learning environments.
-Developed for Technical University of Liberec (Czech Republic).
-Many ideas and code were taken from other Moodle modules and Moodle itself;-)
+You can download Moodle <https://download.moodle.org> and run it on your own
+web server, ask one of our Moodle Partners <https://moodle.com/partners/> to
+assist you, or have a MoodleCloud site <https://moodle.com/cloud/> set up for
+you.
-Installation:
- * see http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_contributed_modules_or_plugins
+Moodle is widely used around the world by universities, schools, companies and
+all manner of organisations and individuals.
-List of features - version 1.4:
+Moodle is provided freely as open source software, under the GNU General Public
+License <https://docs.moodle.org/dev/License>.
- * easy to use - new teachers can quickly create multipage study materials
- * two levels - only chapters and subchapters
- * possible automatic chapter numbering
- * chapters authored in build-in HTML editor (html stored in database,
- images in course data)
- * printing support - all chapters can be displayed on one CSS formatted page
- * backup/restore with internal link preservation
- * support for global searching in study materials (see contrib/search)
- * import from html files (relinking of images, flash, Java applets and
- relative links)
- * works with MySQL and PostgreSQL databases
- * no need to move language packs any more
+Moodle is written in PHP and JavaScript and uses an SQL database for storing
+the data.
-
-Intentionally omitted features:
-
- * more chapter levels - it would encourage teachers to write too much
- complex and long books, better use standard standalone HTML editor and
- import it as Resource. DocBook format is another suitable solution.
- * TOC hiding in normal view - instead use printer friendly view
- * PDF export - there is no elegant way AFAIK to convert HTML to PDF,
- use virtual PDF printer or better use DocBook format for authoring
- * detailed student tracking (postponed till officially supported)
- * export as zipped set of HTML pages - instead use browser command
- Save page as... in print view
-
-Future:
- * I like eXe editor, I would like to improve Book in this direction ... ;-)
