Usefulness of an integration of Mediabird Study Notes into Drupal?

Hello everyone,

I am the co-founder of the Mediabird Study Notes software, which is an extension to existing LMS.

Mediabird is a collaborative online notepad that allows small study groups to collaboratively work on shared notes at any time. It is not only possible to extend notes or edit them at the same time but in particular Mediabird allows users to annotate notes and ask questions about them. With that respect, Mediabird combines the ideas of a wiki and of a forum but is not as public as a wiki and relates questions to the notes rather than separating them as done in a forum.

Let me give you an example: Anne, Catherine and David are working in a study group on Anatomy. The meet on a regular basis, say once a week. Last time, Anne summarized the meeting. Instead of sending it via email, she simply typed it in using Mediabird (copy and paste working as well). David and Catherine now can instantly see what Anne has done. That's not very exciting so far, but: David and Catherine can now highlight parts of the document and insert questions. All three can then answer these questions or leave them for the next group session. In addition to that, they can extend or edit the notes Anne has taken.

We've already integrated this module into Moodle and got great feedback. I've been told that Drupal is an excellent approach for LMS as well and I'd like to know your opinions on Mediabird and if you'd like to see it integrated into Drupal. You can use the tool on our site at http://www.mediabird.net/ (free), we've also got a moodle demo up at http://moodle.mediabird.net/ (free). Feel free to ask any questions you like.

Best regards from Hamburg
