In the past month I added two blog posts to http://www.somerandomthoughts.com about IMS LTI.

The first discussed the new external tool activity that is available in Moodle 2.2, which enables Moodle to connect to a 3rd party IMS LTI compliant activity/site such as a suitably configured wordpress MU or mediawiki. This post is available here

I recently added a blog entry on the Top 100 learning Tools list that is curated by Jane Hart of the Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies (C4LPT).

Moodle finished at number 8 with its best showing for the last 5 years where it was 10th, 14th, 9th, 12th and now 8th. Two other Course Management Systems appear further down in the top 100, at 58th and 89th respectively
