Customlesson is a variant of the official module lesson, which allows the teacher to have a template lesson, customized for each student. The lesson template is completed by a csv file which provides all the variable fields (columns) for each of the students (rows).

Custom Lesson works exactly as a standard Lesson, except that all the content of the lesson can be filled with variable fields between square brackets, eg. :

Which is the length of the network for an [e:exclass] address?

Then, the individual data are imported in a new table, from a CSV file with students as rows and fields as columns, eg. :

userid;e:exclass;q:ipnetwork;a:cidrnet
4;Classe B;172.16.0.0;16
5;Classe C;192.168.1.0;24

The first column must be either userid or ursername. The following columns are meant to be interpolated in the custom lesson contents (titles, questions, answers...).

A more detailed documentation is available in the package and on github (see below).

From an internal point of view, customlesson uses the same eight tables as lesson, duplicated as customlesson_*, plus one new : customlesson_keys. This table is populated from the CSV files and is used as a source for the interpolation process.

Allegre - OK, so I have tested on 2.4 and it works just fine. If we could get the version.php adjusted to avoid the validation error and provide the source control, tracker and documentation URLs I think we can get this approved. In the meantime, I am going to mark as needing more work. Peace - Anthony

Finally, we managed to migrate this code from mercurial to git, and to clone it into github. So, I uploaded a new version, with these URLs for github and doc.

Has anyone ever seen an error when creating an essay question within a lesson, where the default of your answer is cut off by the answer box??

Very interesting, I will see if the admins in my university will add this! Also, does anyone know of a "custom quiz"? Something like the custom lesson, but available as one of the quiz types available. I am looking for something that allows different answers for different students. For example:

student_A answer_x
student_B answer_y
student_C answer_z

Preferably it would be possible to also put variables in the text of the question, like done in the custom lesson.

Actually, since I am still a bit new to Moodle, I think I did not use the best terminology above... What I am thinking of is a "custom question" type, I guess, not custom quiz.

I think this is a great plugin!
I'm interested in something like J.Alves asked about, custom quiz or question. Is there some plugin to help me with that or is this one helpful with that?
Thank you
