How to make Moodle EASIER to use! My TOP SEVEN (7) - MOODLE PLUGINS

[@scatton61]

I agree about the Fordson theme... I like to use it with the Tiles course format. I prefer the Checklist plugin to Progress bar. I also like the Media collection.

[@Ricoshae]

Thanks Stephen. Tiles is great. I will have to check out the Checklist plugin again as it has been a while since I used it. Media collection sounds really interesting and could be very useful. Thanks for the suggestions.

I have just completed a course (don't know what software/LMS) and the progress indicator was more of a hinderance because it didn't take into account how much of the reading material had been completed since this was done offline.

[@Ricoshae]

It isn't always practical depending on the delivery model and what reporting you actually need. This plugin may be useful to record offline activity. moodle.org/plugins/mod_attendanceregister

Can you please tell which web cam application or software you are using to show your webcam at the corner that too without any border.

[@Ricoshae]

Hi Gagan, I use Screenflow 6.2.1 on a Mac to record and the camera is the built in laptop camera. Hope that helps.

[@gagankapoor3811]

@@Ricoshae Thanks Ricoshae for your information. I was actually asking for borderless webcam app you are using. I like your webcam window so I was asking for that app through which you are showing floating webcam window at the top of your screen.

The 8th plugin is awesome (I've just installed #2 too, thanks). Is there an equivalent to the #8 plugin to pay teacher per assignment graded? I'm building my online school now, learning how to make my own plugin is not a projet for 2021 for me :P !

[@Ricoshae]

Thanks CORE Escalade. Great to hear that you found the plugins useful. Sorry, there isn't a similar plugin to #8 available, thats why I created the course on developing plugins so that PHP developers could create their own. Do you know any PHP developers that could help you create your own plugin?

[@coreescalade6488]

@@Ricoshae I'll look into that, thanks

Do you know a good resource that explains how to make a Moodle course self paced?

[@Ricoshae]

Hi Jessie, I don't have any at the moment. I could put together some recommendations for you that may help. Would that be useful? Thanks, Chris

Can you find someone who can help revive our Moodle with some of these plugins?

[@Ricoshae]

Hi Bari, Do you have a Moodle administrator to assist in installing the plugins for you?

[@monfreign]

any plugin that I can use in an activity where the student is given a word and he/she has to form a sentence using it?

[@Ricoshae]

I don't know of any plugins that will do that. Most are the reverse where they are given a sentence and then fill in the blank word. It would have to integrate with a spelling and grammar API to check if the sentence is valid. Would be an interesting project to try.

thx for your briliiant content. I have question, maybe you can help. I use the WPLMS-Theme (based on Wordpress) for my learning platform for musicians e-vocal.academy. As you can see there are a lot of courses. I would like to import most of the courses into a moodle installation. Do you know any PlugIn which does this import automatically? Any idea? thx and best regards from vienna/ austria!

[@Ricoshae]

@@jenswaldig8546 Hi Jens, I don't know of any plugin to help import course data. I have written API's for large organisations to move data across from some major platforms, but it can be a big and expensive process to write the code between API's. Sorry that's not much help.
