Development:Activity Locking

This page is an attempt to consolidate and explain the available activity locking code that is present for Moodle 1.5.x and 1.6.x. This page will hopefully help explain all the available versions and their respective features. Some of the reference here will overlap with the existing Wiki page covering Conditional activities.

Activity Locking for the purpose of this Wiki page is any code that allows the user to make decisions on the next available resource or item the student will see based on student events or quiz performance. There is some activity locking code that is very quick and dirty to simply lock future activities and then there is much more complex code based on the conditional activity though structure which attempts to progress the student through the course in a thought out progression based on activities and performance. Again we hope to clarify some of this here..

Please visit the Moodle Forum for more information concerning Activity Locking and Conditional Activities-

There is a very specialized-limited type of activity locking under a lesson (activity) setting called dependency in 1.6. See: *https://docs.moodle.org/en/Adding/editing_a_lesson#Dependent_on . Entering the lesson can be made dependent on the % (lesson questions) correct, time spent or completion of one other specific lesson.

Please be patient as this page is new and under development.
