Aspire resource list module for Moodle
======================================

The Aspire resource list module enables a teacher to include a selection of
resources from associated Talis Aspire resource lists directly within the
content of their course.

The resource list can be displayed either in a separate, linked page, or
embedded in the course page itself (hidden initially, with a link to toggle
visibility).

The development of this module was based on previous work by the University of
Sussex and Falmouth Exeter Plus (on behalf of Falmouth University).
