The shared activities course format allows users to create their own shared activities which they can invite a list of other people to join. When they invite people, those people receive an email with a link to the activity.
This system could be useful if users meet on a course and want to arrange social events between themselves, or to stay in touch after the course ends.
- Supports Forum modules
- Supports installed OU wikis
Development status
This code is currently in use at the Open University, but we don't have any plans to develop it further at present (except adding support for oublog when that is released). We're also not aware of any major problems.
Please contact sam marshall if you find serious bugs. The public version may 'lag behind' our internal one, and we may need prodding to update it for bugfixes.
