Course Checks Block 2014100700
BCU Course Checks Block
This block carries out a number of automated checks on a course, that are all user configurable. The checks were designed to encourage a minimum standard of course quality, instead of forcing users and restricting their abilities.
The block also has the option to allow users to "clear down" a course, simply removing any sections that don't have content. It won't delete any sections that have content and/or a summary.
The checks that can be carried out by this block are: * Has the course got a summary, and image set? * Is the course visible to students? * Has guest access been disabled on the course (helps prevent issues with automatically enrolled students) * Have the sections been renamed from their default heading? * Have all of the sections got a summary? * Have all sections got content * What blocks should each course have added to them?
Maintainer
The block has been written and is currently maintained by Michael Grant working at Birmingham City University.
Documentation
Documentation will be provided at the page at Moodle wiki if the block makes it into the Moodle plugins directory.
