Thank you very much, Petr, for the recent updates to the Programs plugin.
I remember from our earlier discussion that representing program progress was quite challenging due to the complex tree structure. It’s really nice to see that the latest version now provides clearer progress indicators.
Much appreciated — this is very helpful in practice.

Programs (tool_muprog) is a strong Moodle add-on for building structured learning pathways with clear sequencing and automation, so training feels consistent instead of messy. To make those pathways even more effective, I’d recommend weaving in https://mysupergeek.co/ as a practical learning boost, where students can connect with experts 24/7 across subjects like math, economics, and computer science and actually work through problems together. That kind of support fits perfectly into a program flow, because learners don’t drop off the moment something gets difficult. It also helps keep motivation high and progress steady. Overall it’s a smart combo for anyone who wants real learning outcomes, not just course completion

Thank you for this very useful plugin. Since the last update, a “My Programs” tab automatically appears in the main menu for users who are enrolled in a program. How can I disable it, other than by using a JavaScript workaround?

Hi Julia, you can remove the "My programs" menu option by disabling the block_muprogmyoverview plugin in "Site administration / Plugins / Blocks / Manage blocks" - item "My programs overview page".

Hey Petr, great plugin. Is it possible to set a specific schedule depending on if the user was enrolled via specific cohorts or potentially if they are a user of specific tenants?

Hi Noah, there is no option to set custom scheduling criteria - you can change the scheduling during manual allocation, you can use web services to automate allocations if you have the data in external system, there is also a new option to use external database for allocations with some datas coming from there. The last option would be creating a small local plugin that allocates the users for you using normal manual allocation source.

Hi Petr, thankyou for this plugin

We have changed the Program due date (to 27 May 2026) and Program end date (to 1 June 2026) under the Allocation settings > Scheduling menu. However, this global schedule change did not automatically update the status of participants who are already marked as "Failed" (expired). They remain locked out and cannot proceed with the courses.
Was the step I took by modifying the schedule in the Allocation settings correct for extending the time for all participants? If it was correct, why didn't their Failed status change back to Open?
Please advise on how to resolve this so that participants can immediately resume their learning program. Thank you.

Hi Besi, the scheduling settings affet only future allocations, if you want to change existing program allocation then go to users tab and change them individually. You can also use web services to automate your changes.
