Blogs FAQ

Tmuras:

{{Blogs}}
==How can I limit blogging to specific users only?==

See the [[Blogger role]].

==How can I change the 'Publish to' default setting?==

By default, all blog entries are published to 'Anyone on this site'. To change the default setting to 'Yourself (draft)', see the Using Moodle discussion [http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=110983 Changing the Publish to Default Setting].

==How can blogs be disabled completely?==

In ''Settings > Site administration > Appearance > [[Blog]]'' set ''bloglevel'' to 'Disable blogs completely'.

==How can I backup & restore blogs?==

In 1.9 blogs were backed up & restored while doing a site backups. This has not been reimplemented for Moodle 2, so there is currently (Moodle 2.5) no way to backup blogs: [https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-22136 tracker issue].

==Viewing blogs==

===How can I see the blog of a particular person? (ie all the entries by a person)===
*In the course, Click Participants > Student Name > [a new item appears in the nav block - you need to notice it] > Blogs > you will see "View all entries by Student Name"

===How can I see all the blog entries for associated with a particular course?===
#In the blogs block > "View all entries from this course"
#In the course, click Participants > Blogs. Note: The term 'blog' here could be misleading. What you get is "Blog Posts attatched with a course", not 'blogs'.

===How can I see all the posts associated with a particular person associated with a particular course?===
*It's not currently possible to do this.

Outcomes

2012-05-02T07:10:48Z

Tmuras:

{{Grades}}
Outcomes are specific descriptions of what a student has demonstrated and understood at the completion of an activity or course. Each outcome is rated by some sort of [[Scales|scale]]. Other terms for outcomes are ''Competencies'' and ''Goals''.

In simple terms outcomes are similar to sub components of a grade. A grade is an assessment of overall performance that may include tests, participation, attendance and projects. Outcomes assess specific levels of knowledge through a series of statements, that maybe coded with numbers or letters. Thus an overall grade can be given for a course, along with statements about specific competencies in the form of outcomes.

==Enabling outcomes==
# Go to ''Site administration > Advanced features'' and ensure that ''Enable outcomes'' is checked (by default, it isn't).

==Using outcomes==

# Choose or define some outcomes for your course (see below).
# For each activity, choose which of these outcomes apply using the tickbox in the activity's settings page.
# When grading that activity, grade each student using the Outcome scales. Note: You can also edit the grades in the [[Grader report]] (useful for modules that don't feature inbuilt grading).
# Use the outcomes as part of the assessment for students, or look at the Outcomes report for some useful feedback on how students in the class in general are performing.

==Outcomes report==

The outcomes report in ''Settings > Course administration > Grades > Outcomes report'' helps teachers monitor their students' progress using outcomes. It lists site-wide outcomes and custom outcomes used in the current course, their overall average (each outcome can be measured through many [[Grade items|grade items]]). It will show the name, course and site wide average, the activity, the average values and the number of "grades" given.

The outcomes report is a table with 6 columns:

*Short name - the short name of the outcome used in this course.
*Course average -shows two values representing the average scores given to students for each outcome used in this course.
*Site-wide - Whether the outcome is a site-wide outcome or not.
*Activities - This lists the activities that use this outcome in this course. A new row is created for each activity, and the activity name is linked to the activity's page.
*Average - the average score for each activity using the outcome in this course.
*Number of Grades - The number of grades given to students for each activity using the outcome.

==Outcomes used in course==

Outcomes may be set at site and/or course level. To choose outcomes for use in your course:

# View available standard outcomes in ''Settings > Course administration > Outcomes'' or via the gradebook Outcomes tab
# Add outcomes from the standard available list (right side), and use the left-facing arrow button to add them to outcomes used list (left side). Multiple outcomes may be selected by holding down the Apple or Ctrl key whilst clicking on the individual outcomes.

==Adding course-level outcomes==

[[Image:Adding an outcome.png|thumb|Adding an outcome]]To add a course-level outcome:

# Click the 'Edit outcomes' link in ''Settings > Course administration > Outcomes''
# Click the 'Add a new outcome' button.
# Complete the form then click the 'Save changes' button.

==Adding standard outcomes==

An administrator can add standard outcomes, which are available site-wide, in ''Settings > Site administration > Grades > Outcomes''. Multiple standard outcomes can be added using the import outcomes functionality (see below).

==Exporting outcomes==

Outcomes (and their associated scales) can be exported by clicking the "Export all outcomes" button. This will send a file (in .csv format) that can be read by Excel, OpenOffice.org or by any text editor.

==Importing outcomes==

Outcomes (and associated scales) may be imported by submitting a csv file. The format should be as follows:

{| class="nicetable"
|-
! Field name
! Description
! Required
! Format
|-
| outcome_name
| The full name of the outcome
| Yes
| String
|-
| outcome_shortname
| The short name of the outcome
| Yes
| String
|-
| outcome_description
| The description of the outcome
| No
| String
|-
| scale_name
| The name of the scale used
| Yes
| String
|-
| scale_items
| A comma-separated list of scale items
| Yes
| String
|-
| scale_description
| The description of the scale
| No
| String
|}

Here is an example:

outcome_name;outcome_shortname;outcome_description;scale_name;scale_items;scale_description
Participation;participation;;Participation scale;"Little or no participation, Satisfactory participation, Full participation";

To import outcomes:

# Click the 'Import outcomes' link in ''Settings > Course administration > Outcomes''
# Choose 'Import as custom outcomes (only this course)' or 'Import as standard outcomes' as required
# Upload the csv file

Note that while importing:
*Existing outcomes and scale will be used if available (no overwriting is done by the script)
*The script will stop if it detects that the file contains invalid data

==Removing selected outcomes for activities==

Previously selected outcomes are greyed out on the update activity page, however they can be removed via the gradebook on the categories and items page. They will appear in the list either below or above the activity they have been enabled in and will have the same icon as that activity. Note that if you have renamed the outcome since you assigned it to the activity, the orginal name will be displayed. Deleting the outcomes from this list will result in the outcomes being deselected on the update activity page.

Tmuras: /* Usage */

The '''flashcard module''' may be downloaded from https://github.com/tmuras/Moodle-Flashcard/zipball/master .

The flashcard module allows editing and playing flashcards. Flashcards are a "memory training" device that uses the concept of repetition. Checking a flashcard deck will present the student the couples of relationships to be memorized. More often the associations are reviewed, deeper the memorization will be engraved into our memorial circuits.

==Features==

* Getting cards from a "matching question"
* Editing cards
* Multimedia cards: text, image, sound and image + sound together
* Automated backpropagation of cards (can be disabled)
* Customizable decks

=Usage=

==Tutor Time Tracking Entries==

* The Block provides access to a single page, block/timetrack/add.php (the Task entry page).

[[Image:timetrackblock.jpg]]

* The entry page contains 5 rows consisting of Users Name, Date, Task Allocation dropdown, Quantity input
* The user completes as many rows as they desire and submits them.
* Upon submit They are then presented with confirmation screen which allows them to cancel and return to the entry page, or confirm their entries and write them to the database.
* Some of the teacher tasks require a quantity entry. If these quantities are not entered, the user will be asked to enter them prior to the confirmation screen
* Some other teacher tasks do not require a quantity - these will default to a quantity of 1 and the user will go directly to the confirmation screen
[[Image:timetrack_entryscreenerror.jpg]]
* After the user confirms the entries, the value totals are calculated, and the data is written to the database, the user will be returned to add.php and a success message displayed.

==Tutor Time Tracking Reports==

* The time tracking report page have two date selection points, the start of the report period and the end of the report period.
* Once a date range has been selected, pressing the Find Tracking Entries button will produce the report on screen.
* The report contains the teacher's name, date, task allocation, quantity, rate for the task, total
* A button titled 'Export to Excel' is located at the bottom of the report. This will offer a CSV file for download.
* The CSV file contains the same data that is visible on screen, with one addition column containing the teacher's name.

[[Image:timetrack_reportscreen.jpg]]

=Test cases=
==Admin data entry==

* Click on the button titled 'Find tracking entries'
* At the bottom of the report (if any) click on the button titled 'Export to Excel'
* A CSV file should be offered for download containing the report data, plus an additional column (col 1) containing the user's name

==Teacher with a system role data entry and report==
* Log in as a teacher (any user assigned the system role of 'Teacher' or 'Editing Teacher' : Users > Permissions > Assign system roles)
* Repeat the steps above to enter Tutor Time Tracking Data and generate reports

=Known issues and TODO=
* Download excel data as the administrator. The current setup may be sufficient (the admin can select a tutor), but they may want to download data across selected multiple teachers, or all data for all tutors.
* Once data is submitted and confirmed, the tutor is returned to the data entry page. They may need to be redirected to the report, or the moodle homepage, or the course homepage.
* Once data is submitted, it is written to the database after the tutor clicks the 'confirm submission' button. This may be unclear; instructions could be entered to make this clearer and save the loss of data.
* Very high quantity values (9999999999999999999999999) will hit the system upper limited and become (9223372036854775807). Sane max values should be enforced.
