Just got this flier about FaithLife TV Church in my email and I noticed something, maybe for the first time, about group study at the bottom and the bundle coming with the Sermon tool. It stated,
"Get Creative with Small Group Curriculum. If it’s in your Sermons archive, it’s on your church’s Faithlife TV. Upload brief talks, discussion questions, and more to encourage your church to grow in the Word."
So, my RFE [Request for Enhancement] idea that arose while reading this was:
A) What if Faithlife Sermon had an
A1) export to Moodle Course format?
A2) appropriate tagging/options also to design "sermon" to be more course like. So a slide with "questions" on it, was embedded also to be interactive on export?
B) And if Faithlife Sermon also allowed one to import the table of contents or outline from a Mobile EDU course?
That would really give a complete educational environment using Faithlife/Logos and Moodle. moodlecloud.com has free hosting and might not be that hard to redirect to Faithlife for sso login [especially if Faithlife develops a partnership with them].
Another option was in regards to licensing. An option that would set an account for "Faithlife TV Church" as inactive after a set time period of inactivity. This would give Churches more confidence in developing training programs around this offering without fears of costs for licenses not being used. Example, after 60 days of inactivity of faithlife TV, Mobile EDU, etc usuage - disable their Faithlife Tv Church subscription. Present user with notice about contacting church leadership about having it re-enabled. This should be a option in the configuration of the license - not all members will need this, for example.

- Being able to turn anything done in Sermons with a click of the export option to Moodle course, where at least 80% of the work was done, is highly attractive. Also, when you then get into the advantages of Sermons being able to be shared amongst ministries - wow, just wow! There could be free/open source moodle courses around the MobileEDU videos within months. And also, the infrastructure to keep them up to date and be able to contribute to them.
- I'm currently attending Liberty University and with that, I started pondering the price numbers on this and my suggested ideas - why would not every Christian university push this allows to their student body? For dollars on the head per student, it's a complete no-brainer.
