Thanks for your explanation.

Hi John,
Well, in the moodle/mod/emboodle/lang/en_utf8/emboodle.php file, just write:
$string['modulename'] = 'Insert an embeddable object';
$string['modulenameplural'] = 'Insert an embeddable object';
See result in attached screenshot.

That's more than 13 000 items to process; that is a lot!
Could you check and try to increase in php.ini
max_execution_time = ??? ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds

Hi Peter,

Thanks for sharing your "checklist" idea. I'm not sure that redoing it as a quiz is such a good idea, however. I'd suggest using either the Feedback or Questionnaire plugins (available from the Modules and Plugins page) as best-suited for your purpose.

However, may I say that the sheer sight of your checklist could have the adverse effect of making the students run away from it? When I see this:

-

If you are not able to do some of the following things, please post a message in the Course environment forum with the subject being the item that you have a question about. Please provide as much information as possible as this makes is a lot easier to assist you. I, or someone else will then reply to assist you or you might use the chat room.

I think that a) those students who are able to go through the whole checklist and are able to do what you suggest ("post a message... provide as much information as possible...") are probably computer-savvy enough to know what to do and not need to ask for help whereas b) those students who are "lost" will not even know how to post their message, let alone "provide as much information as possible".

A minor remark: your checklist starts with "I can...", and further down you have some items such as "[ ] Click your name (top right)..."; for syntax consistency, that should be "[ ] Click my name (top right)...".

Let me say again that I find your checklist a good idea; I'm only skeptical about its usability. Why not change it into a "todo" list of activities. Then, to check that the student has actually done all of the suggested activities, you might consider looking at their Activity Report.

Hello Daniel,
To give a reference to a bug report, simply write it as follows: MDL-10405
You just write M D L - 10405 (without the spaces, of course) and the link will be created automatically.
