| ==Tricks and techniques==
| |
| | |
| With a bit of lateral thinking, you can achieve some interesting results beyond the most obvious uses of the system.
| |
| | |
| ===Project allocation===
| |
| | |
| Imagine that you let students choose one of two projects. Each project has its own activities (a forum for all the people doing that project, resources with information about the project, etc). You want it to hide all the activities that a student isn't doing.
| |
| | |
| There are already ways to do this in Moodle such as using [[Groupings]]. However, this is one new option:
| |
| | |
| # Create two forums called 'Frog project sign-up forum' and 'Zombie project sign-up forum'.
| |
| # Set both forums to be automatically marked complete once the user makes 1 post.
| |
| # Set each forum to be conditionally available only if the other forum is NOT complete.
| |
| # Create other activities for the frog and zombie projects. For each Frog activity, set it to be conditionally available only if the Frog sign-up forum is marked complete. For each Zombie activity, set it to be conditionally available only if the Zombie sign-up forum is marked complete.
| |
| | |
| When a student first visits the site, they see the frog and zombie sign-up forums and none of the project activities. As soon as they post in one of the forums, the other forum will disappear, and all the activities for their preferred project will appear. (If they want to change their mind, they can delete their forum post so that it isn't marked complete any more, and it'll be back to square one.)
