Re: Partial course completion

Hey Whitney, long time smile

I think that you should add some activity completions for other items at key points of the course where you want to see progress on the activity completion report. Adding some automatic completion to simple things like videos, page, links, etc. can give you this with no interruption to course flow.

One trick I use is to have a simple Choice activity at the beginning of a course for students to answer some basic question, so that you can get a first interactive activity completion with a time and date on it as a starter. Or make them read the syllabus or accept some course specific terms and conditions, for example, but the goal is to mark that starting point of their work.

Another way, especially if you want to improve motivation and completion, is using Badges, again at some strategic points in the course. This is especially useful if the courses are long and take some time to complete, since it can help identify a reachable interim stage in a long course.

Re: Exclude a group from activity

That sure would be nice, wouldn't it! But neither grade items nor grade categories are group aware in that way.

Now, for grading, if you have two Assignments A and B assigned to different Groups A and B, then the grade for users for the assignments they can't do will be empty. So, if you have set an item or category to "Exclude empty grades", then those are excluded from the math. So you may need to manage those empty grades in some way to make the math come out as you want in your example situation.

Further, for visibility, if you have the access restriction set so that the Assignment is visible to all groups in the course, even if they can't do it, then that Assignment will show up greyed out in the Grades view for those other group students, but will of course have no grade and be empty.

If you have the access restriction set so that the Assignment is only visible in the course to the Group it is restricted to, then students in other groups will not see any entry in the course nor in their view of the Grades.

So that visibility behavior is consistent or what I would expect. However, even though it is not visible and is an empty grade, it doesn't change the math going on due to the empty grade.

Best method to use?

I'm trying to figure out the best possible method to implement the following table into moodle.

The idea behind it is that there is a list of tasks in which users need to be competent in for the course to be completed. Therefore, if one of the tasks is marked training required, then it will be failed. The signed section isn't too important and can be removed as i don't believe there is a way to implement this into moodle?

I originally thought a multiple choice quiz would be the best way as it will show date completed when submitted. However to get a date completed for each task i would have to do a different quiz for each task and it would take a long time to get through the tasks as you have to save and submit after each one.

504 can be tricky to diagnose but it's typically an infrastructure problem rather than anything in Moodle.

Make sure things that are supposed to talk to each other are working properly (check the logs). Make sure firewalls are allowing traffic you expect. As this is to do with notifications make sure very sure your mail is working (again check logs at both ends.)

Re: User Menu Grades Error Reading From Database after selecting Curse

  1. Even if that won't help to solve the actual issue, when dealing with a database error, it's always best to give more details about the server components that Moodle is using, like the DB type and version, PHP version. Even if that's not seem like a theme related issue, giving information about it might help.

  2. Since blocks are mentioned in the error log, did you try to remove some blocks or even uninstalling some block plugins, and see if it solves the issue? I wouldn't do it on a production server, but copy the production server to a test server and then play with it.

Hi David

I was thinking that there would be a clear message at the start and in the preamble 

I dont know much about enrolment keys, I'll have to look that up, to better understand keys.

But if youre saying it has to be for defined periods, then I would be looking at giving the course a year enrolment period ? 

Is a year for an enrolment period ok in terms of moodle functionality  ?

User details are not getting updated via csv upload

by Sarath P.  

Hello everyone. I upload users via .csv file. Sometimes the users list would be 50 or more. Every time after uploading each file, I take a copy of the results.

I found that for some users, their last name has not been updated. When I check the results document, it is showing the status as ‘User updated’ and their last name has been changed, but not reflected on Moodle.

In order to make sure that there is no problem with the headers, what I did is that I uploaded the same csv only with the users were having issue. This time it worked and the user first name, last name got updated.

I was wondering if someone could help in understanding the problem and suggest a solution.

Moodle version 3.4.2+

Thanks in Advance.


Re: Activity Completion blocks

Maybe the visibility depends on the theme, because I thought that hover color you are mentioning only occurred with Course Editing turned on (to help you find which "Edit" links belong to which activities). I have not used boost, but in the themes I've used, Edit Mode is the only time I see the hover color. So students do not ever see it (in my understanding).

Is this on a live moodle? If so, do they users use authentication such as LDAP/SAML/etc... which might update their account when they login? Could it be updating from the moodle upload but then being overwritten if they login to moodle again?

Great, also I completely agree with Rafeal, the Completion Progress block is a great tool for both students to see their own progress, but also for Teachers to get an overview of all the students with a better view than the standard Activity report.

Another tool to help with students is the Reengagment plugin: https://moodle.org/plugins/mod_reengagement. You can set it up to remind students to come and do an activity if they have not after certain set periods of time.

Hello friends! Are there any tutorials on how to add a feature in Moodle? I would like to add a role that I am developing for the master. In that case I would add a panel on the left side with html and css, and add a php function that I am developing.

Context Freezing: too much frozen

by Robert Kovacich.  

We are running 3.7.2 Build:20199090

When I freeze a category the instructors and students are frozen out of more than I would like.

Grades are not visible, submitted assignments are not visible to student or instructor.

Is this intended?

I wanted this tool to stop instructors from changing the course in any way but still have all aspects of the course "readable", but this is not the case.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

-Rob

I'd search to make an automated search engine with audio that would answer users questions related to my course.

Anybody know of anything?
