Media capture repository

== Introduction ==
Audio/Video Capture repository plugin is of great utility to both teachers and students. Teachers can directly submit assignments or record audio/video lectures for the students. This project is for the implementation of the Audio/Video Capture repository plug-in which enables users to directly capture and upload their audio/video files to the server.

== Requirements ==
Moodle 2.3 required

== Project Details ==
=== Description ===
The ’A/V recorder’ module will use the Repository API and its own small API for integration of sound and video recording components and web services with Moodle. The module would have a UI which would receive requests for recording media. The A/V Module calls the ‘record’ module. The recorded media is then converted to a proper format (using ImaACPCM or Speex codecs) to be saved to the Moodle servers. The file is then uploaded to the servers by either using the existing plugins or a new module is created to accomplish the task. The module then saves the file name/location in the database. During the above operations the module would inherently interact with the Moodle Interface for various data operations/inter-module interactions.

=== Implementation ===
I would be extending the NanoGong Java Applet to record, playback and save the content to web-pages for Moodle 2.0. The NanoGong applet is quite well-suited for the project and currently supports audio recording. NanoGong provides an extended HTML editor which would be integrated with the current editor provided by the default Moodle installation everywhere. Below are some of the prospects of using the applet (as mentioned in the NanoGong documentation)

The editor would be customizable from the back-end with varying permissions for students, teachers and administrators over the record, playback and speed controls. The functionality will be as follows :

For students using Moodle :
Students can submit their voice/video messages using the extended html editor. These messages can be deleted and changed provided it is not locked by the corresponding teacher giving the assignment.

For teachers using Moodle :
Teacher can view all the messages submitted and choose to lock/change or assign score to a given assignment based on the message. Alternatively the applet can be used by teachers to record video/audio lectures.

As for the Video part, no known open source alternatives exists currently for a video recording Java Applet. I have taken a good look at Vimas, the enterprise Applet for Video capturing and would look to build something on those lines. The video recording applet would allow recording videos in mp4 format (H.264 video and AAC audio) on the web page and upload it on the web server via HTTP. I would be using the Java Media Framework (JMF) to capture the audio and video stream.

=== Schedule of Deliverables ===

'''Pre-phase''' (10th May - 21st May) :
Pre-phase would involve assembling all the pre-requisites for the coding period. Talking to the mentors and reading the documentation to be in good stead before the coding period begins.
Also maintaining a blog to track day to day progress and track reviews by mentors, would be done during this period.

'''First-phase''' (21st May - 9th July)
Deliverables :

21st May - 28th May
Code the entire framework for the plugin. Build a basic back bone wherein addition of these media capture modules can be easily done.

29th May - 4th June
Port the NanoGong applet to Moodle 2.0 and integrate the functionality within the module.

5th June - 19th June
Complete the Audio Plugin Front-end and back-end which manages permissions for audio recording for students, teachers, various options for playback, save and speed control.

20th June - 9th July
Look for open-source alternatives for Vimas and start the development/integration of the Video plugin in to the Module.

'''Second-phase''' (11th July - 1st August)
Deliverables :

11th July - 18th July
Entire back-end + front-end for the module should be complete.

19th July - 25th July
Customize the Video plug-in and test the support for different frames and audio/video quality on various browsers.

26th July - 1st August
Extra time for full implementation of the Video plug-in . This would involve intensive testing and bug-fixing.

'''Post-phase''' (12th August - 20th August) :
This period is exclusively reserved for final testing, minor bug fixes or enhancements to the front-end, documentation of the entire code, review from the mentors and minor changes to the code.

Tsala: MySQL dmlwriteexception error when using calculated questions in a quiz (MDL-29332)

This indicates that a general error occurred when Moodle tried to write to the database. If you turn on [[Debugging]] you will get more detailed information about what the problem is.

When importing questions in Aiken format after successful reading all questions this error emerges when saving in the database. No definite rule why. Ver. 2.0

==dmlwriteexception error when using calculated questions in a quiz==

If you're using MySQL or SQL*Server and you have a problem with duplicated keys with the question_attempt_step_data table when using calculated questions in a quiz (from entering a formula which uses variables with the same characters in different cases), it is recommended that you upgrade to Moodle 3.0.x or higher ASAP. Alternatively, the problematic unique index can be dropped or the collation of the columns changed to be case-sensitive, however this is not considered a complete fix. See MDL-29332 for more information.

Calculated question type

2016-09-22T15:16:25Z

Tsala: MySQL dmlwriteexception error when using calculated questions in a quiz (MDL-29332)

{{Questions}}
Calculated questions offer a way to create individual numerical questions by the use of wildcards (i.e you can use common variables names as '''x''' , '''y''' enclosed in curly braces to create the wildcards '''{x}''' and '''{y}''') that are substituted with random values when the quiz is taken.

For example, if you want to create a large number of '''"Calculate the area of a rectangle"''' problems to drill your students, you could create a question with two wildcards (i.e. '''{base}''', '''{height}''' created from the common '''base''', '''height''' variable names) and put in the "'''Correct Answer Formula='''" input field '''{base}''' * '''{height}''' ( * being the multiplication sign ).

'''Correct Answer Formula=''' {base}*{height}

When a student takes the test, Moodle will randomly select values for '''{base}''' and '''{height}''' and grade the response using the result of the '''Correct Answer Formula'''.

The test will very rarely appear the same way twice.

== Is this really the question type for you? ==
The main purpose of the calculated question is to create multiple versions of a question with different numerical values. This means you must have '''at least one''' wildcard in one of the answers.

If you don't need a random element, use the [[Numerical question type]] instead.
== Simple calculated question type ==

The [[Simple calculated question type|simple calculated]] question offers the most used features of the calculated question with a much simpler creation interface.

==Wildcards and datasets==

When Moodle delivers a Calculated question to the student, the wildcards are replaced with randomly-selected values. However, these values are not completely random - rather, they are randomly selected from a pre-defined ''dataset'' of possible values. This allows you some control over the possible values chosen - for example, in order to make sure the numbers are realistic.

These datasets can be ''private'' or ''shared'' - private datasets are used by one wildcard within one calculated question; shared datasets are used by one wildcard within all calculated questions that use it.

==Question set-up==
To create (or modify) a calculated question there are three pages to work through. The instructions below take you through the pages, step by step:

===Page 1. Editing a Calculated question ===

#Select the question '''category'''
#Any shared wildcards for this category are listed beneath. If you change category, you'll need to click the "Update the category" button to refresh this list. There may not be any shared wildcards yet - if not, you can create them later if you wish.
#Give the question a descriptive '''name''' - this allows you to identify it in the question bank.
#Enter the '''question text'''. This should be the question you want the student to answer, and it must include all the information they need to calculate an answer. Therefore it must contain at least one wildcard, inside curly braces. For example, if you wanted the student to sum numbers A and B, the question text might read: "What is {A} + {B}?" You may also include quantities computed from wildcards using the syntax "{=...}: for example, the question "What is {={A}+{B}} - {A}?" with wildcard values A=4 and B=3 would display as "What is 7 - 4?"
#Select an image to display if you want to add a picture to the question. For the student, it appears immediately after the question text and before the choices. If you want more control over how the image appears, include it in the question text above, using the HTML editor.
#Set the '''default question grade''' (i.e. the maximum number of marks for this question).
#Set the '''Penalty factor''' (see [[Calculated_question_type#Penalty_factor|Penalty factor]] below).
#''Moodle 1.7+:'' If you wish, add general feedback. This is text that appears to the student after he/she has answered the question.
#Next add the '''formula for the answer'''. This formula must contain at least the wildcards that appear in the question text. See [[Calculated_question_type#Correct_answer_formula_syntax|Correct answer formula syntax]] for further details.
# Choose the '''grade''' that the student will get for this question if they give this answer. This should be a percentage of the total marks available. For example, you could give 100% for a correct answer, and 50% for an answer that is nearly right. '''One of the answers must have a 100% grade'''.
#Determine the '''tolerance''' for error that you will accept in the answer. The tolerance and tolerance type settings combine to give a range of acceptable scores. So, if tolerance = t, correct answer = x and the difference between the user's answer and the correct answer is dx, then the tolerance types are as follows:
##Nominal - mark correct if dx <= t
##Relative - mark correct if dx / x <= t
##Geometric - mark correct if dx² / x² <= t²
# The next 2 settings, "Correct answer shows" and "Format" determine the '''precision''' of the answer. Use these to select the number of decimal places or significant figures you want to use.
# Add some '''feedback''' which the student will see if they enter this answer.
# You can specify as many answer formulae as you like - click "Add another answer blank" to add more.
# You can also specify units for the answers. For example, if you enter a unit of 'cm' here, and the accepted answer is 15, then the answers '15cm' and '15' are both accepted as correct. If you add more than one unit, you can also specify a multiplier. So, if your main answer was 5500 with unit W, you can also add the unit kW with a multiplier of 0.001. This means that the answers '5500', '5500W' or '5.5kW' would all be marked correct. Note that the accepted error is also multiplied, so an allowed error of 100W would become an error of 0.1kW.
# Finally (!) you can click "Next page" to save what you've done and move on. If you are editing an existing question, you can click "Next page (new question)" to create a completely new question based on an existing one.

==== Penalty factor ====

The 'penalty factor' only applies when the question is used in a quiz using adaptive mode - i.e. where the student is allowed multiple attempts at a question even within the same attempt at the quiz. If the penalty factor is more than 0, then the student will lose that proportion of the '''maximum''' grade upon each successive attempt. For example, if the default question grade is 10, and the penalty factor is 0.2, then each successive attempt after the first one will incur a penalty of 0.2 x 10 = 2 points.

===Tolerance===

As for numerical questions it is possible to allow a margin within which all responses are accepted as correct. The "Tolerance" field is used for this. However, there are three different types of tolerances. These are Relative, Nominal and Geometric. If we say that the correct answer at quiz time is calculated to 200 and the tolerance is set to 0.5 then the different tolerance types work like this:

Relative: A tolerance interval is calculated by multiplying the correct answer with 0.5, ie in this case we get 100 so for this tolerance the correct response must be between 100 and 300. (200 ± 100)
This is useful if the magnitude of the correct answer can differ greatly between different wildcard values.

Nominal: This is the simplest tolerance type but not very powerful. The correct response must be between 199.5 and 200.5 (200 ± 0.5)
This tolerance type can be useful if the differences between different correct answers are small.

Geometric: The upper limit of the tolerance interval is calculated as 200 + 0.5*200 and is the same as for the relative case. The lower limit is calculated as 200/(1 + 0.5). The correct response must then be between 133.33 and 300.
This is useful for complex calculation that must have great tolerances where relative tolerances of 1 or more would be used for the upper limit but clearly not acceptable for the lower limit as it would make zero a correct answer for all cases.

The field Significant Figures does only relate to how the correct answer should be presented in the review or the reports. Examples: If it is set to 3 then the correct answer 13.333 would be presented as 13.3; 1236 would be presented as 1240; 23 would be presented as 23.0 etc.

===Page 2. Choose dataset properties ===

Each wildcard that you specify in the answer formula must have an associated set of possible values - this is its ''dataset''. Each of the wildcards is listed on this page along with a choice of dataset:
*'''private''' i.e. only used by this question
*'''shared''' i.e shared with other calculated questions in the same category

Using a shared dataset can save time when you are creating a lot of similar calculated questions.

Note that even when creating a question for the first time, this page may say that your wildcard "will use the same existing private dataset as before." This just means that Moodle has already tentatively created a private data set for that wildcard: if a private dataset is what you want, leave this choice selected.

If there is anything in the question text that looks like a wildcard, but does not appear in any of the answer formulae, you can specify whether or not this is meant to be a wildcard. If it is, you can choose whether it should use a private or shared dataset.

To continue, simply choose your preferred dataset for each wildcard, then click "Next Page".

===Page 3. Edit the datasets ===

Now we need to create the set of possible values that each wildcard can take. ''Warning'' - this page is a bit confusing!

There are two ways of creating values - you can type them in yourself and add them to the list, or you can have Moodle generate them for you.

==== Adding/deleting your own values ====

Adding individual values to the list is easy:

# In the 'Param' field for each wildcard, enter the value you want
# Scroll down to the 'Add' section and click the Add button (leaving the number of items set to 1)
# Repeat the above steps as many times as necessary (the maximum number of items is 100)

To delete values from the list:

# In the 'Delete' section, select the number of items to delete
# Click the Delete button

==== Letting Moodle create values ====

# Start with the "Range of Values" fields, and enter the lower and upper limits for the values you would accept
# Choose a number of decimal places for the value
# Choose the distribution of values between the limits - 'uniform' means any value between the limits is equally likely to be generated; 'loguniform' means that values towards the lower limit are more likely.
# Now move down to the 'Add' section and click on "force regeneration"
# In the menu next to the Add button, choose the number of sets of random values (items) you wish to add to the list. (Note that the maximum total number of items in your list is 100.)
# Finally, click Add to append the new values to the list
# '''Note:''' If you want more control over the items that Moodle adds, you can do them one at a time and preview the values before you add them. Click the "Get New Item to Add" button to make Moodle generate new values in the "Item to Add" section at the top. If you like them, click "Add" for 1 item; if not, click "Get New Item to Add" again to get new values.

==== Finishing off ====

Once your list of items (values) is complete, you are finished. It's up to you how many values you add - the more values you add, the more a question can be used by the students without them seeing the same values repeatedly.

Note that if you delete values from the list, you can put them back again. Change the "Next Item to Add" option to "reuse previous value if available", then the next time you add items, Moodle will restore your previously-deleted items from the dataset.

Once your list of values is complete, you can click 'Save changes' to finish.

==== What does the 'Update the datasets parameters' button do? ====

Warning: This button can affect several questions, so be careful before using it.
Assume you have selected dataset parameter for {a} to be any value between 1-10 and generated a question. In the second question also you decide to use a SHARED wildcard called {a}. Inherently, it will show a value between 1-10. However, your need here changes and you want to make it 11-100 instead. Then, you change them in the range and click this button. Voila! the values change and you can add new items here using the 'Get New item to add'. However, if you go back to your previous question, you will see that values would change there too, because it is a shared dataset. If you do not update parameters, then this may not happen and will generate a new set of values and displays them in the "Item to Add" section.

==Correct answer formula syntax==

=== DO NOT PUT THE = sign in the formula. ===

* In the recent versions of the calculated question type, you could have more than one answer formula and applied a specific grading value to each of them as long as there is at least one 100% correct answer formula.
If more than one correct answer formula input field are displayed when editing,
your site has the multiple answer feature.

* As a general rule, write these formulas like you would in a calculator e.g. <code>3 + 5 * sin(3/{x})</code> A notable exception is exponentiation, where x<sup>3</sup> cannot be entered as <code>{x}^3</code>, but instead should be entered as <code>pow({x}, 3)</code>.
* Each function's placeholders and other arguments should be in parentheses (brackets). For example, if you want students to calculate the sine of one angle and two times cosine of another, you would enter <code>sin({a}) + cos({b}*2)</code>.
* It's usually better to have too many parentheses (brackets) than too few. The server won't care, and the more specific you are about what you mean, the more likely it will like your complex formulas.
* There is no implicit multiplication. To you, the human editor, "5(23)" or "5x" may seem perfectly obvious. To the server doing the math, it's crazy talk and won't be understood. Always use the "*" for multiplication.
* Any special mathematical function must have parentheses around its values. Take the sine function in the first bullet point for instance. Notice that the ''3 / x'' is wrapped in parentheses (brackets)--this is so the server can understand it properly. Without those parentheses, the server won't know if you mean "(sin 3) / x" or "sin (3 / x)" and will reject the entire formula accordingly.

==Available functions==

Calculated questions can use more than simple arithmetic operators. The following functions are allowed in versions 1.5 and newer.

==Predefined constants==
Actually there is NO Predefined constant that is allowed other than pi() as a function without parameter.

==Synchronization==

You could use shared wild cards to get the same values across questions in a quiz.

A simple example will be to use the same radius in a first question asking for the perimeter of a circle of {radius}cm and a second question asking for the surface of a circle of {radius}cm.

When the quiz will be shown to the student the two questions will shown the same {radius} value.

However the synchronization will work '''ONLY''' if the questions are kept in the '''SAME''' category and have the '''SAME NUMBER OF DATASETS''' .

If you need to move the synchronized questions to another category, you need to do it by editing the questions.

==MySQL dmlwriteexception error when using calculated questions in a quiz==

If you have recently upgraded and you're using MySQL or SQL*Server and you have a problem with duplicated keys with the question_attempt_step_data table when using calculated questions in a quiz (from entering a formula which uses variables with the same characters in different cases), it is recommended that you upgrade to Moodle 3.0.x or higher ASAP. Alternatively, the problematic unique index can be dropped or the collation of the columns changed to be case-sensitive, however this is not considered a complete fix.

Tsala: /* Possible issues that may affect you in Moodle 2.3 */ MySQL dmlwriteexception error when using calculated questions in a quiz (MDL-29332)

{{Installing Moodle}}
''This page explains in detail how to upgrade Moodle. For a summary of the process, see [[Upgrade overview]].''

==Check the requirements==

Check that your server meets all requirements for 2.3 in ''Settings > Site administration > Server > [[Environment]]''.

Note: You can only upgrade to Moodle 2.3 from Moodle 2.2 or later. If upgrading from earlier versions, you must [https://docs.moodle.org/22/en/Upgrading_to_Moodle_2.2 upgrade to 2.2] as a first step.

==Checking database schema - old sites==

If your Moodle site has been upgraded through many prior versions it is possible that there will be some problems with the database schema (compared to a fresh 2.3 installation). This may cause the upgrade to fail. If your site started life prior to Moodle 2.0 it is a very good idea to check and correct the database schema before upgrading. See [[Verify Database Schema]]. You should also run the database integrity checks in the XMLDB editor.

==Check for plugin updates==

Check in the [http://moodle.org/plugins Moodle Plugins directory] whether there is a 2.3 version available for any contributed/custom plugins (including themes) that you have previously installed on your site. If so, download the plugin code and copy it to the appropriate location in your Moodle code (see [[Installing plugins]]).

The upgrade of the plugin will then happen as part of the Moodle upgrade process.

If an out-of-date plugin causes your upgrade to fail, you can usually delete the plugin code rather than uninstalling it from within Moodle so that the data associated with it is not deleted.

==Before you upgrade your site for real==

'''We advise that you test the upgrade first on a COPY of your production site, to make sure it works as you expect.'''

== Backup important data ==

There are three areas that should be backed up before any upgrade:
#Moodle software (For example, everything in server/htdocs/moodle)
#Moodle uploaded files (For example, server/moodledata)
#Moodle database (For example, the SQL or Postgres database)

See [[Site backup]] for more specific information.

==Put your Site into maintenance mode==
Before you begin upgrading your site, you should put it into [[Maintenance_mode | maintenance mode]] to stop any non-admin users from logging in.

== Install the new Moodle software ==

=== Standard install package ===

# Move your old Moodle software program files to another location. ''Do NOT copy new files over the old files.''
# Unzip or unpack the upgrade file so that all new the Moodle software program files are in the location the old files used to be in on the server. Moodle will adjust SQL and moodledata if it needs to in the upgrade.
# Copy your old [[Configuration file|config.php file]] back to the new Moodle directory.
# As mentioned above, if you had installed any custom plugins on your site you should add them to the new code. It is important to check that you get the correct version for your new version of Moodle. Be particularly careful that you do not overwrite any code in the new version of Moodle.

====Linux====
mv moodle moodle.backup
tar xvzf moodle-1.1.tgz

Next, copy across your config.php, any custom plugins, and your .htaccess file if you created one ('''check that custom plugins are the correct version for your new Moodle first'''):

cp moodle.backup/config.php moodle
cp -pr moodle.backup/theme/mytheme moodle/theme/mytheme
cp -pr moodle.backup/mod/mymod moodle/mod/mymod

Don't forget to make moodle/config.php (and the rest of the source code) readable by your www server. Ideally the files should not be writeable by your server.

If you use cron, take care that cron.php is executeable and uses the correct php command:
chmod 740 admin/cli/cron.php (some configurations need chmod 750 or chmod 755)
copy the first line from cron.php (if it looks like '#!/usr/local/bin/php' or '#!/usr/local/bin/php5.3', no need to copy '<?php')

if necessary.

=== Using Git ===

You can use Git for updating or upgrading your Moodle. New sites are recommended to use this rather than CVS since all Moodle development has moved to Git. See [[Git for Administrators]] for details.

===Command line upgrade===

On Linux servers, Moodle 2.3 supports running the [[CLI|upgrade from the command line]], rather than through a web browser. This is likely to be more reliable, particularly for large sites.

== Finishing the upgrade ==

The last step is to trigger the upgrade processes within Moodle.

To do this just go to ''Settings > Site administration > Notifications''.

Moodle will automatically detect the new version and perform all the SQL database or file system upgrades that are necessary. If there is anything it can't do itself (very rare) then you will see messages telling you what you need to do.

Assuming all goes well (no error messages) then you can start using your new version of Moodle and enjoy the new features!

==After upgrading==

The config.php file from your 2.2 installation should work fine but if you take a look at config-dist.php that came with Moodle 2.3 there are more/different options available (e.g. database drivers and settings). It's a good idea to map your old config.php settings to a new one based on the 2.3 config-dist.php.

==Possible issues that may affect you in Moodle 2.3==

=== Two assignment modules ===

A new assignment module has been added in Moodle 2.3. The old assignment module is still available (renamed 'Assignments 2.2') and sites which have upgraded from previous versions will have both versions available.

It is recommended that admins upgrade all existing assignments to use the new assignment module as soon as possible, as described in [[Upgrade tool|Assignment upgrade tool]], then disable the old assignment module, to avoid the confusion of having two assignment modules.

===Google registration required for Google Docs and Picasa plugins===

Due to a change in Google's service, Moodle 2.3 has switched to a more secure and more user-friendly system for communicating with Google called 'OAuth 2.0'. As a result, any Google Docs and Picasa plugins (the Google Docs and Picasa repositories and the Google Docs and Picasa portfolios) used previously on the site will be disabled when the site is upgraded.

To re-enable these plugins, an administrator must register their site with Google, as described in [[Google OAuth 2.0 setup]], and obtain a client ID and secret. The client ID and secret can then be used to configure all Google Docs and Picasa plugins.

===RTL theme fixes===

Moodle 2.3 includes many right-to-left (RTL) theme fixes (MDL-30337) and so sites using RTL languages, such as Arabic and Hebrew, are recommended to perform additional testing, particularly with any custom themes to ensure everything is working fine.

===MySQL dmlwriteexception error when using calculated questions in a quiz===

If you're using MySQL or SQL*Server and you have a problem with duplicated keys with the question_attempt_step_data table when using calculated questions in a quiz (from entering a formula which uses variables with the same characters in different cases), it is recommended that you upgrade to Moodle 3.0.x or higher ASAP. Alternatively, the problematic unique index can be dropped or the collation of the columns changed to be case-sensitive, however this is not considered a complete fix. See MDL-29332 for more information.

Tsala: reply

This page seems to be an exact copy of https://docs.moodle.org/23/en/Upgrading_to_Moodle_2.3. Do we need to have both?

: The page 'Upgrading to Moodle 2.3' actually redirects to the page with title 'Upgrading'. This is done in each version wiki because sometimes it's best to use the URL https://docs.moodle.org/23/en/Upgrading_to_Moodle_2.3 and other times it's best to use the URL https://docs.moodle.org/23/en/Upgrading (Sorry it's not a great explanation!) --[[User:Helen Foster|Helen Foster]] ([[User talk:Helen Foster|talk]]) 18:34, 25 May 2015 (AWST)

Using Wiki

2014-10-22T05:16:00Z

Tsala: Reverted edits by Juliakakas (talk) to last revision by Rwthornton

{{Wiki}}
This section outlines how to use wikis after the teacher has added a wiki acivity. To set up a wiki in your course, see [[Wiki settings]]

== Creating the first page==
*Once the wiki is set up, a user will click the link and reach the following screen:

[[File:newwikipage.png]]

==Adding more pages==
*Type the name of your page inside double brackets. (''1'' in screenshot below) You can preview it by clicking the "preview" button towards the bottom of the screen.
*Press the "save" button.
*Now click the (red) link for one of the pages (''2'' in screenshot below) and you will be prompted to create it in the same way you create the first page:
[[File:newpageswiki.png]]

*A page once created has a blue link.
====Hint:====
If you use the'''New''' option from the navigation block you will still need to copy and paste the name of the new page onto the immediate parent page and surround it with double brackets. This creates a link to your new page and makes it accessible from the main Wiki page.
Otherwise nobody will recognise the so called lost new page.

== Wiki editing in general ==

Depending on the type of the wiki, there are several ways to edit your page.
But don't worry: The best thing of a wiki is, that nothing is lost. The old version will be there - and if someone changes your version of the page - your version will also be there.
Note that the options for editing, commenting viewing history, map and files may all be accessed both from tabs at the top (''1'' in screenshot below) and links in the navigation block (''2'' in screenshot below):

[[File:editingwiki.png]]

==View==
*The '''View''' tab at the top or link in the navigation block allows users to display and view the wiki page.

==Edit==
The '''Edit''' tab at the top or link in the navigation block allows users to edit the wiki page.

==Comments==
*The '''Comments''' tab at the top or link in the navigation block allows users to see and add comments about the wiki.

==History==
*The '''History''' tab at the top or link in the navigation block allows users to see what has been altered in the wiki.
*Compare edits by clicking the "Compare Selected" button.
*Click the "Restore" button of the version you wish to restore if the latest edit is unsuitable:

[[File:comparewiki.png]]

==Map==
*The '''Map''' tab at the top or link in the navigation block allows users to view areas of the wiki such as a list of pages (as in the following screenshot), updated or orphaned pages etc. (Orphaned pages are pages not linked to anywhere.)
*To select what you want to see, click the Map menu dropdown box.

[[File:wikimap.png]]

==Files==
*The '''Files''' tab at the top or link in the navigation block allows users to access any files which have been added to the wiki.

* By default, the Teacher role can add and manage files to the '''Files''' tab, but the Student role can only view them. You could change this though with a permissions override to the '''Manage wiki files''' capability (mod/wiki:managefiles) in any particular wiki.

==Administration==
*The '''Administration''' tab at the top or link in the navigation block is available to editing teachers in the course so they can delete page versions or selected pages. Clicking the "list all" button will list available pages to delete. The first page of the wiki cannot be deleted.

[[File:adminwiki.png]]

==Deleting pages==

Teachers and other users with the'' mod/wiki:managewiki'' capability can delete any page or page version, with the exception of the first page, via the Administration link in the navigation block or the Adminstration tab. See the section '''Administration''' above.

== Markup language ==
You miss all the formatting you know from other moodle activities?
That's because the wiki-type of your wiki is e.g. nwiki. See [[Nwiki markup]]

==Why use a wiki?==

Wikis are a simple, flexible tool for collaboration. They can be used for everything from simple lists of web links to building entire encyclopedias. As an example, [http://www.wikipedia.org| Wikipedia] is the largest wiki in the world.
In your own class it's important to have a plan for your wiki so students know how it fits in with their learning. If it's a individual wiki, will they be graded? Is it simply a staging area for group work that will be submitted as assignments later? Will you let the students be completely responsible for the work? How will you deal with offensive content? The great advantage of a wiki is that all edits are clearly visible and reversible.

==Ideas for using wikis==
===Group lecture notes===
Creating a wiki for group lecture notes after a lecture gives students a chance to combine all their notes. Those that missed information can get it from their peers. The group can also decide what information is critical and give it proper emphasis. Group lecture notes could be done with the entire class, if it is small enough, or with small working groups. Groups can also compare notes for further discussion and refinement.

===Group Project management===
A teacher assigning a group project can give students a place to work by creating a wiki with the group mode enabled. This will give each group their own space to record research, to develop outlines and to create the final product.

===Brainstorming===
Brainstorming is a non-judgmental group creative process in which group members are encouraged to give voice to any ideas they personally consider relevant to the group exercise. In a face-to-face meeting, a brainstorming facilitator will usually stand in front of a big piece of paper and elicit ideas from the participants in the room. A teacher can create an online version of this process by setting up a wiki for the entire class or for smaller student groups and asking people to submit ideas around a brainstorming topic. People can add ideas as they occur and link to other pages for elaboration.

===Contribute to other wikis===
A teacher might assign his or her class the task of contributing to [http://en.wikipedia.org Wikipedia], [http://en.wikiversity.org Wikiversity], or to another wiki on the Web, on any class topic, perhaps by assigning students to groups (or making it a class project if the class is small enough and the topic broad enough) and challenging them to collaboratively create an article they would feel confident posting to a public-information space. Students will use the course wiki to create drafts of the article they will eventually publish to the community at the end of the semester.
===Collaborative story-telling===
Younger students could be encourage to work together on a wiki to build up a story -each adding a sentence following on from the previous contribution.

Language packs

2014-09-15T15:00:56Z

Tsala: [https://download.moodle.org/langpack/2.3/ Language packs for Moodle 2.3]

{{Language}}
==Language pack installation==

Over 100 language packs are available for an administrator to install on your Moodle site via ''Settings > Site administration > Language > Language packs''. Simply select the languages you require from the list of available language packs and click on the "Install selected language pack" button.

Multiple language packs may be selected for install by holding down the Apple or Ctrl key whilst clicking on the language packs.

Language packs are a work-in-progress, since new language strings are added for new features in each new version of Moodle. [https://download.moodle.org/langpack/2.3/ Language packs for Moodle 2.3] lists the percentage of language strings translated in each language pack.

==Parent language packs==

Certain language packs contain only the modified language strings from their parent language, rather than a complete set. Thus, it is necessary to install the parent language pack too. These language packs are:
* de_du, de_kids and de_comm (which requires de)
* es_ar (which require es)
* fr_ca (which requires fr)
* en_us (which requires the default en)

==Manual language pack installation==

In general, the easiest way to install additional language packs is from within Moodle. However, it is also possible to install a language pack manually by downloading the zip file from [https://download.moodle.org/langpack/2.3/ Language packs for Moodle 2.3] and unzipping it to a directory called ''lang'' in your ''moodledata'' directory.

==Language pack updates==

To update installed language packs, except English and any local language packs, click the 'Update all installed language packs' button in ''Settings > Site administration > Language > Language packs''. The English language pack is updated automatically each time the site is upgraded.

Capabilities/enrol/cohort:config

2014-08-21T06:55:28Z

Tsala: cap fix as mentioned in MDL-46924

{{Capabilities}}

*This allows a user to add the [[Cohort sync]] enrolment plugin to a course via ''Settings > Course administration > Users > Enrolment methods'' (provided that it has been enabled by admin in ''Settings > Site administration > Plugins > Enrolments > Manage enrol plugins'')
*The default roles of [[Manager]] and[[ Teacher]] have this set to allow.

'''NOTE:''' By default, a teacher cannot add the [[Cohort sync]] plugin to their course. It needs to be configured by an Administrator or a user with the Manager role.

The required capabilities for setting up a cohort sync are:
*moodle/course:enrolconfig in the course context
*enrol/cohort:config in the course context
*moodle/cohort:view in the same context as category

The required capabilities for manually enrolling cohort members are the same as cohort sync (note: this is a bug MDL-28431)
*enrol/manual:enrol in course context
*moodle/course:enrolreview in course context

error/moodle/nopermissions

2013-11-22T08:37:51Z

Tsala: Reverted edits by Ztwalker (talk) to last revision by Markn86

This is a general error that indicates the current user account does not have permission to do what you were attempting.

One of the most likely causes is that you are trying to do something as a guest user (somebody who has not yet logged in to Moodle).

This feature is part of the [[Roles]] framework introduced in Moodle 1.7. If you believe that your roles for that user DO allow that action you were attempting, then you may have found a bug. Congratulations! Please help us by creating a new issue at http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL and describing what you did in detail.

User profiles

Tsala: Reverted edits by Chastitym (talk) to last revision by Ghillenb

{{Site appearance}}
A user's profile may be viewed by clicking on their name. See [[View profile]] for more information on how the profile information is displayed and [[Edit profile]] for information on updating profiles.

==Site administration settings==

===Site policies===

An administrator can force users to login for profiles and select which roles are visible in user profiles (by default teacher, non-editing teacher and student) in ''Settings > Site administration > Security > Site policies''.

===Default profile page===

An administrator or manager (or any other user with the capability [[Capabilities/moodle/user:managesyspages|moodle/user:managesyspages]]) can set which blocks appear on the default profile page for new users.

# Access ''Settings > Site administration > Appearance > Default profile page''.
# Select the required blocks from the "Add a block" drop-down menu. Configure each block as desired.
# Reposition blocks using the arrow icons in the block headers.

==Adding a block to all profile pages==

An administrator can add a new block to all profile pages as follows:

# Turn editing on for the front page
# Add the block to the front page
# Edit where the block appears and set the page contexts to 'Display throughout the entire site'
# Go to your profile page and again edit where the block appears and set 'Display on page types' to 'Only user profile pages'

==Preventing users from customizing their profile page==

By default, users can customize their public profile page and add blocks. To prevent this

# Go to ''Settings > Site administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles''
# Edit the authenticated user role and untick the capability [[Capabilities/moodle/user:manageownblocks|moodle/user:manageownblocks]]

==User profile capabilities==

System:
*[[Capabilities/moodle/user:editownprofile|Edit own user profile]]
*[[Capabilities/moodle/user:manageownblocks|Manage blocks on own public user profile]]
*[[Capabilities/moodle/user:managesyspages|Configure default page layout for public user profiles]]

Adding a new course

2013-04-23T13:42:39Z

Tsala: Reverted edits by Zecca (talk) to last revision by Tsala

{{Courses}}

By default a regular teacher can't add a new course. To add a new course to Moodle you need to have either [[Administrator|Adminstrator]], [[Course creator|Course Creator]] or [[Manager|Manager]] rights.

==Adding a course==
To add a course:
*Go to ''Settings>Site Administration>Courses>Add/edit courses''

[[File:Addeditcourses.jpg]]

*Choose the category where you want your course to be. For more information see [[Course categories|Course categories]]
*Click the "Add a new course" button
*Enter the [[Course settings|course settings]], then click the "Save changes" button.
*On the next screen, choose your students/teachers to assign to the course.

==Deleting a course(s)==

A regular teacher can't delete a course. Administrators and managers (i.e. users with a role for which the capability [[Capabilities/moodle/course:delete|moodle/course:delete]] is allowed) can deleted courses. A [[Course creator|Course creator]] can delete courses they have created themselves.

To delete a course (as an administrator or manager):
*Go to ''Settings > Site Administration > Courses > Add/edit courses''
*Click the course's category (to drill down the category tree) and find the course you wish to delete. Or use the "Search course" textbox at the bottom of the category list.
*Click the "X" icon to the right of the course's name. to delete it.

You can delete multiple courses by:
*Creating a new (temporary) category. You can name it "To be deleted".
*Select and '''move''' the "About to be deleted" courses to that category ("To be deleted").
*Delete the category ("To be deleted") and choose "Delete ALL - cannot be undone".

There is no user interface for course creators to delete courses they have created, however they can do so by editing the URL of the course from <nowiki>http://yourmoodlesite.net/course/view.php?id=N</nowiki> to <nowiki>http://yourmoodlesite.net/course/delete.php?id=N</nowiki> (replacing 'view' with 'delete').

==Course requests==

*There is a course request feature which can be enabled by the administrator in ''Settings > Site administration > Courses > Course request''.
*The default category for new courses requested can be selected from this screen, and users who will be notified when courses are requested can also be selected here. (These are users with the capability [[Capabilities/moodle/site:approvecourse|moodle/site:approvecourse]].)

[[File:Courserequest.png]]

*A button will then appear on the All courses page for users to request a new course. The All courses page can be accessed via a link in the [[Courses block]].

By default, all authenticated users can make course requests (after you have enabled it). It is controlled by the capability [[Capabilities/moodle/course:request|moodle/course:request]].

==Bulk Course Create Options==
As of Moodle 2.2, this is not an out of the box feature.

The main Tracker item: http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-13114

Some forum discussions:
#Import files to batch create courses and users http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=27333
#Bulk / automated course creation with phpMyAdmin http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=27333

#uploaduser.php enhanced to upload also courses http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=128317

The latest real lead (as of February 2012) is this:

:''Piers Harding added a comment - 26/Sep/11 3:23 AM Hi -
:This may or may not be of any use to people on this thread, but I create a basic course uploader for 2.x modelled on the user uploader, as I needed something for NZ schools - it's available here https://gitorious.org/moodle-tool_uploadcourse/moodle-tool_uploadcourse for the curious.

error/debug/cannotdowngrade

Tsala: copying text from 25 wiki

This error occurs when a new version of a add-on has been installed at some point and then has been replace by an older version of the same add-on.

In this scenario you need to determine what has caused this to happen:

* It might be that you've accidentally tried to install a version compatible with older versions of Moodle. In this case, check the Moodle plugins database for the correct version with your Moodle and install this
* It could also be that the plugin is defective - in this case you should try to contact the plugin author, using the Moodle forums for example.
