Moodle Joins Forces with Google

From where I sit, this looks loke Google extending their Google ID to Moodle accounts. I could be wrong. But take a look at this and tell me what you think. "Moodlerooms, an online learning solution that can be used for K-12 classrooms, has collaborated with Google to integrate Moodle with Google Apps Education Eduction, which allows the two communication/productivity systems to work as one great tool. Moodle administrators can create user accounts in Moodle and Google in one step, and Moodle users can access Google features through Moodle using a single sign-on system." A single sign-on. Not OpenID. Bad. Unattributed, Tech&Learning, February 25, 2009. [Link] [Tags: Online Learning, Google, OpenID] [Previous][Next]

Actually, it looks like the single sign-on uses the SAML standard. It may not be OpenID, but that doesn't make it proprietary. [Comment] [Permalink] [Previous][Next]
