Brief project description: MrCute is an acronym for Moodle Repository Create Upload Tag Embed, and is intended as an optional Moodle module and block which allow direct and straightforward access to instititutional and other repositories of online learning materials. MrCute 1 was released as a Moodle extension at the end of March 2008. Phase 2 will be released at the end of March 2009 but it is hoped that it will be available for testing some time before that.

Mrcute is intended primarily within the United Kingdom and some portions may only function fully in the UK, but is released under an Open Source licence for use anywhere in the world.
