Hi all.

This an echo of a misrouted message of mine in developper forum... (was not the right place...actually).

I just pushed in a fist beta of an old work of 2007 that was just quite ready to run on 1.9. The work was handled with Paris VIII University and served as basis of a master degree in Ethnomethodology in 2006 and Hypermedia strategy in 2007.

The coursetracking/ajaxtracking module/filter pair of plugins provides an efficiant technique to get a "fine grain tracking" of readers of your teaching material in Moodle.

Although mostly tested on "Web page resources", we are now testing how the dynamic markers work in the edited content within other activity modules.

the course tracking activity let authors drop small "markers" (as images) in the content of an on-line resource and setup some tracking parameters on them.

The markers will be dynamically converted by the ajaxtracking filter as active tracking transducers for students, or microreport portlets for teachers, telling them the amount of access hits, read hits and explicit positive feedback collected.

The markers really make a measurement of what is being read by students, as being aware of their location in the browser. They actually are able to detect they are staying in a visible or non visible part of the screen.

The tracking system measures the effective reading time of each transducer, and will give full reports of those collected tracks.

complete documentation is at : http://docs.moodle.org/Coursetracking_module

The beta is released in CVS, and plugin entry has been added to our plugin base.

There are possibly some situations to check as last fixes where exclusively performed on FF and first developement was handled under IE7. IE8 remains untested yet, specially for the behaviour of the Ajax part of the code.

Thanks for attention.

This was our 2009 gift for the Moodle contrib community !
Very Happy New Year !!

Note qu'un grande partie du problème vient de la position de Moodle.org lui-même quand aux délégations d'autorisations :

Un stand Moodle ne peut se concevoir sans matériel de communication minimal et un petit habillage aux couleurs de Moodle. Quelques tentures orange et un grand bandeau Moodle suffirait... sauf que :

Si l'opportunité est relayée par nos modérateurs auprès de Martin D, il a peut être un peu de matériel... Dans le cas contraire on doit pouvoir trouver un moyen collaboratif de monter ce matériel. Pour cela, il faut que quelques uns d'entre nous puissent s'en charger, ce qui revient à utiliser la "marque" et le logo Moodle et donc d'en avoir la possibilité !

J'en reviens à ma première question : Qui peut actuellement le faire ?

A tous nos collègues Moodleurs...

Le salon des solutions Open Source 2010 qui aura lieu les 16,17 et 18 Mars 2010 Porte de Versailles nous ouvre grandement ses portes et gratuitement à la Communauté Moodle.

Pour ma part, en tant qu'entreprise prestataire, il me paraissait hors de propos et de contexte d'y répondre.

Si nous souhaitons voir représentée notre plate-forme préférée, l'initiative doit émaner de la communauté. J'ai pu échanger avec la direction du salon. C'est vrai que nous ne sommes pas structuré en association, ce qui rend un peu difficile nos échanges avec des partenaires, mais pour ce coup, cela ne semble pas un obstacle.

Nous sommes parrainés également par Intel qui a investi beaucoup sur Moodle ces derniers temps.

Question : comment répondre rapidement à cette possibilité (je rappelle : stand offert sur le salon pour la solution). Comment constituer une équipe pour ce salon ? Quelle peut être une motivation commune qui nous permette de rassembler les volontaires pour monter cette présence ?

Val'EISTI peut participer, mais pas comme moteur....

Merci à tous.
Valéry.

Hi all,

I deeply apologize for the trouble (a note was added in docs.moodle.org). We are moving physically all our data center, including the network external routers.

We had to break the availability of this documentation volume for a while.

The team is on work on this week and next week to get it all remapped and you'll have it again.

In the meanwhile, you may use the http://xref.moodle.org Xreference....

Cheers.

Valery at EISTI.
