Details about Canada MoodleMoot 2015 including calls for presentations, awards etc. will be finalized and posted by January. (http://moodlemoot.ca/)

Alongside all the excellent suggestions in this thread there is the Dataform plugin which can allow the students to select a slot and report back in the selected slot entry, and the teacher to add feedback and/or include the participation in the course gradebook. An illustration of using the Dataform for something like your scheduling requirement is available at https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=276353.

Btw, preparation for Canada MoodleMoot 2015, October 21-23 in Montreal is underway. Great opportunity to share your school's unique perspective and experience.

Easy.

Effective in terms of learner outcomes and Moodle: Successful in demonstrating the intended learner outcomes in a Moodle based learning environment.

Of course, this definition, just like most other definitions, is not very helpful without further definitions. For instance, we cannot assume that 'learner outcome' is well defined so we need an opertional definition for it as well. And the further we define, we are likely to end up with a circular definition.

Here is another try.

Effective in terms of learner outcomes and Moodle: With learner outcomes and Moodle the score after is higher than the score before.

We need much more of course but this can at least give a better sense of what we will need to do, that is, measure something and compare.

Check out the docs at https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Print_style.

If you cannot adjust the theme accordingly you can try including the style sheet from within the question text with <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" ...></link> tag, or add to the question text inline css with the <style>...</style> tag.

Thanks Rajesh. I think that Moodle core perspective, as you posit it here, actually misses something in the point of BDD reflecting the requirements analysis process/language. Developers see discrete functions/features as singular scenarios. Subject matter experts see wholes of complext situations. An obvious shortcoming of the the various blog posts is that they give simple examples that are easy to fit into the over-simplification of the Single Given-When-Then model. Some of the replies to the posts point that out. So, the proposed convention may serve a purpose in the context of Moodle core development, but this doesn't mean that it would be as effective in other contexts of Moodle development. But at the end of the day, all this can be merely academic. If you plan to make the code checker generate errors/warnings about this convention, please add an option to ignore this convention so that it doesn't interfere with plugins' compliance with Moodle coding guidelines.
