I am unable to figure out how to create course prerequisites in Moodle 3.0. I saw it for 2.x, but don't seem to have that option in 3.0. Is there a way to have course pre-requisites? Ie. you have to complete 101 before you can take 201? I saw "course completion" but every where i've checked, that simply means that for you to get credit for a course, another course has to be completed, but you could still take the course.
thanks,
Jason
Wow this is alot more complicated looking than 2.9 (I have 3.01 on my test server).
When you say course to clarify do you mean you have modules containing courses? if so then looking at this it is done via the Activity completion but the course completion must first be set against each course(activity)
Apologies for below but they do not appear to have updated the pages for 3.0
(These settings are collapsed by default.)
Tick the boxes of the activities you wish to count towards completion of the course. (You need to have Activity completion enabled to be able to do this. You can decide whether ALL of the activities must be completed or ANY one of them.
(These settings are collapsed by default.)
This setting allows you to make "the completion of another course" as a condition for completing the course you are currently working in. This does not block the student from your current course; it simply means that the current course will not be marked complete until the first course has been marked complete. Thus, completion of the current course is dependent upon completion of an earlier course. Just select one or more courses in the "Courses available box". Note: Once you have selected a course, it's not currently possible to remove it. See MDL-27114
Hello Jason - if you mean by course requisites that they cannot access one course until they have completed another course then I am afraid that is not possible. Simon, I checked the Course completion documentation for 3.0 and although the screenshots are of an earlier version the settings are still the same.
Simon & Mary,
Thank you for your replies. I was able to figure out how to get the Activity Completion to work, but we will be offering courses from 101 to 401, and you shouldn't be able to take course 201 before 101, and 301 before 201, etc...
Is there any "creative" way around this?
thanks,
Jason
The "creative" (but not entirely foolproof) way around this is in the Course completion FAQ number 4 currently.
Ciao, this is our "creative" experience for a similar aim.
I'm testing a nice plugin, Badge enrolment, that gives us the chance to set an automatic condition to the enrolment to an advanced level course (or to "course 2" after completing "course 1").
I create a Badge course, selecting "course 1" in "Completing one or a set of courses" criteria.
In "course 2", I add Badge enrolment as Enrolment method and choose this Badge course as "Required site badges for enrolment".
Students won't be able to enrol to "course 2" until they get the badge course for completing "course 1".
Badge enrolment is available for Moodle 2.9 (although in my Moodle 3.0 seems to work properly).
Thankyou Francesca - I hadn't heard of this one and it is a nice workaround.
Thanks to Matthias, the maintainer
It's a great tool!! have a look to the other contributions made by Matthias
