Checkmark-Module
===============

OVERVIEW
================================================================================
The Checkmark-Module enables the teacher to give the student some work
(i.e. examples to solve) which the student afterwards checks
if he's able to solve them.
In class the teacher can check if the students really are able to solve the
examples and assign grades via moodle.

main features (among more unmentioned):
*) using either standard examples (individual starting-number and amount,
fixed grade per example) or individual naming/grading (names and grades
can be defined for each example)
*) autograde submissions using checked examples and examplegrades
*) submission-overview and submission export to PDF

REQUIREMENTS
================================================================================
Moodle <2.8 or later>

INSTALLATION
================================================================================
The zip-archive includes the same directory hierarchy as moodle
So you only have to copy the files to the correspondent place.
copy the folder checkmark.zip/mod/checkmark --> moodle/mod/checkmark
The langfiles normaly can be left into the folder mod/checkmark/lang.
All languages should be encoded with utf8.
Included languages are: German (de) and English (en)

After it you have to run the admin-page of moodle
(http://your-moodle-site/admin) in your browser.

The installation process will be displayed on the screen.
That's all.
