How to create a new restriction?

Hello guys!

I'm working on a Moodle of a company that students are obligated to see certain contents on a minimum time period. This time is saved on a database table, and needs to be a restriction to enable an exam / test.

Let's say I need to learn about Boeing 737, and I need to have at least 120 minutes of seen content. When I'm configuring a exam / test, I need to be able to define that it will only be enabled if my student has seen 120 minutes of Boeing content. In other words, exam / test will be enabled only after querying that database table e afirming that student X has 120 minutes of content Y...

Anybody knows how do I do that? How do I start a plugin / module to do that?

Best regards

Hi Heitor,

Moodle lesson can do this easily:

1. Create a lesson > Add a Content page, insert your movie into the page.

2. Create another lesson, set Prerequisite like below:

pre


3. Ask some questions in the second lesson to test your students and make sure that they did watch the movie (not just played the movie in a tab and playing games in another tab for 120 minutes).

Hi there,

AFAIK, You can use the Timestat Block for measuring the time spent by teachers and there is new feature coming in Moodle 2.9 for enabling the time spent as an activity completion, but it is available for Lesson activity only

Hope it helps!!
