Your problem is using Moodle 1.6.....that is still being developed and shouldn't be used for anything other than testing and development. You should install 1.5.3 for a site that you plan to use and wait until 1.6 is complete and stable before trying to use it.

Here is the information provided on the download page about 1.6:

"The 1.6 development version will become fairly unstable now as many new features start being added. Recommended for developers or daredevils only. Do not use for production sites unless you really know what you are doing."

Thanks Steve for responding

The reason I installed 1.6 is to have ONEsmile feature  --to force students to "finish a lesson before going to the next one". Can you please tell me how to have that feature on 1.5 version?

Your help is appreciated. Thanks

Nad,

I don't use the lesson module so I can't tell you much about its functionality...someone else may be able to tell you if this exist in 1.5. Regardless, you really can't operate a production site with 1.6 at the moment...not sure what the expected release date is. I would suggest sticking with 1.5 until 1.6 is released as stable.

Hi Nad,

Couldn't you in the meantime set the timer function of the next lesson so that it won't be available until a certain time.  I've done that for the course that's running at present -- requiring students to finish one exercise in a week and opening up the second exercise once they are done.

Might work.
