Course Guide

It is often in charge of the main course teacher to create a guide for the student. Guides are created in different way by teachers and added in Moodle in different places. They can end up to be inconsistent and difficult to find.

This plugin allows a teacher to create a guide. However the teacher cannot create his own "free style" guide, when tutors add a Course guide activity in their course, they must pick a template.

The Moodle administrators create the templates using the template generator. This template generator is actually a Moodle form generator allowing to create form/template containing textarea input, and file uploader (i.e. file manager).

Demo

TO BE DONE

Installation

install the plugin in mod/courseguide

Templating placeholder

The templates allow you to enter placeholder that will generate form elements to fill up for the teacher creating a guide.

Supported placeholders: * file manager: [X:files] * editor: [X:html] * editor with default content: [X:html:BEGIN] some default HTML [X:html:END] * link: [X:link]

X shoud be unique for each placeholder (appart [X:html:BEGIN] and [X:html:END] which share the same X value.)

Compatibility

The plugin has been developed for Moodle 2.8 / MySQL / PHP 5.5.
