We’ve been experimenting with different ways of presenting courses in Moodle 2.8. We’re using labels within sections to conditionally display links to assets as learners progress through the course. In this example, the learner will initially only see the green, “click here to begin this course” under each course heading:
The following buttons will be displayed conditionally as users complete the SCORM package and the quiz.
We’re about to roll out 120+ courses and we’re looking for a better way to use the real estate the learners will be navigating through.
We’d rather list courses in an icon format (the dotted lines – not visible to the user – represent an html table within a single section):
Like the example above using labels, users will eventually be presented with expanded options like taking a quiz, accessing a job aid and completing a course survey:
In this configuration, the icons are all images within the dotted lines with associated links to the SCORM packages. We’ve previously used labels to encompass icons, so it was easy to tell a label to be conditionally displayed based on progress throughout the course. What we need to do is conditionally display images within sections (or within labels) based on progress throughout the course.
Labels won’t work for this style because labels cannot be layered horizontally. Ideally, we’d like to swap out an icon that invites learners to take a module with an icon that indicates that the module has been taken. We’d also like to only show the quiz, job aid and survey buttons based on whether the SCORM has been completed.
As it is, we’re showing all the available links, and conditionally hiding the assets, so a user who clicks on complete course survey in course 8, for example, will get an error message saying that that resource is not available. This isn’t an ideal way of presenting this information.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to turn this:
Into something like this (note the icon change from a “take
course” icon to a “course complete” icon – and a conditional display of
additional steps / course resources) - within anindividual section/label?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
