A new user interface will soon become available as well. This project is currently being worked on for improvements to core code. I have already developed a proof-of-concept / demo Web application, named PaintWeb. Additionally, the tool will be developed such that it will allow other non Moodle developers to use the Web application.įor the implementation of the painting Web application I will use the HTML 5 Canvas API. The paint tool will be tightly integrated into TinyMCE and into Moodle, providing an API for embedding in several ways described below.

The goal is to develop a new online painting tool inside Moodle, one which allows users to edit images in the HTML editor, in the file manager and in other places. Mihai Şucan, Aurel Vlaicu University, Romania. Specification for the Google Summer of Code 2009 paint tool project.
