Hi All,
This is my first forum post in here and I would like to make attention of the community about something I have done in recent past.
I have seen and used moodle with in my university (it is currently using version 1.9.2) and one of a major problem faced by both lecturers/teachers and students (us) is the long course list when the time goes on. As my level 3 project I have created a modified course list which is suitable for our university (which uses module codes for courses). Some features of its are,
- Allows user to hide/show courses which already are completed.
- Courses are categorized according to the level/year they belong. (Required a module code for courses to identify the level)
- A G-mail like feature which indicates how many recent activities are happened since your last login inside paranthesises.
- Allows personal customizations for users and customizations for administrator as well.
Project source can be found in here. http://code.google.com/p/moodle-advanced-course-list/
Brief project description and some screenshots can be found from my personal blog: http://uisurumadushanka89.blogspot.com/2011/02/moodle-advanced-course-list-my-level-3.html
But this version works only with Moodle versions which are less than 2.0. Unfortunately Moodle 2.0+ has gone some changes in structure, hence this will not work in new versions. Also I observed that moodle 2.0 course list is actually a tree rather than separate block.
So, I would like to know applicability of these features in the moodle new versions and also I like to know community idea about this.
- Thanks
