Moodle in English: Workbook format

Workbook format

by Audun Hauge - Sunday, March 23, 2008, 3:09 AM

A chapter based format - each section is displayed as a chapter in a workbook.
Section 0 contains list of chapters. Click a chapter to open (opens a new section).
See picture below for the main view.

Basically each section shows a list of chapters followed by normal section content.
You can also include quiz-questions directly in the section. These can be used to control display of content (chapter only available if you score more than ... ).

You can git the new course format from gitorious by invoking

git clone git://gitorious.org/workbook/mainline.git

install as course/format/workbook/..

You'll also need to git lgcquiz from

git clone git://gitorious.org/lgcquiz/mainline.git

install as mod/lgcquiz/..

It's rather fresh (raw) - but it might be of interest for the adventuresome.

Hi Audun,

I tried to install lgcquiz and workbook format but I have some problems.

When i click on "Meny -> ShowBook", I get this message :
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/var/www/html/moodle/course/format/workbook/show_infobook.php' in workbook.php on line 25

The file show_infobook.php doesn't exist.

File language is Norwegian, a language I do not speak triste

. Would it be possible to have it in english?
Some keys are hard coded as on the image attached and are difficult to understand.

Yes - I've just got it to work acceptably on my machine. Now I'll have to add language strings as needed. They are hard coded to start with as I can't tell before it's rather complete which functions/descriptions are the ones I want to keep.

I'll add a language file today - it won't be complete for quite some days.

The button you've marked was originally for adding chapters.
It has now morphed into adding chapters or new questions.

The show-book link you clicked is not complete yet. It's intended to walk thru all chapters and pick out all questions of type 'theory' and present them as a book
with a table of contents. Thus I can write a workbook containing questions and
theory mixed. The student can later print out only the theory part as a 'book'.

I'm working on connecting properly to the grade book. If you add activities to a chapter the format will show a progress bar below (see pic). Also completed activities are marked with a green check-mark.

The reason for posting the new format was to give interested users a chance to comment while the code is still fluid. I'm impressed that you got it installed.
Its still very unfinished code - changes added nearly daily this past week.

Thanks for giving it a spin

Audun

I've pushed a version just now - fixes (some of) the issues you showed.
Only language strings for menu, add questions, etc.
There are language strings to add for lgcquiz too.
All the question types have Norwegian names.
So far this module has only been used at my school - so I haven't
seen the need for fixing language strings.
