{{Competencies}}
== Setting up a learning plan template ==

*Once a [[Competency frameworks|Competency framework]] has been set up, you can then create a learning plan template. A learning plan template defines a set of competencies which you can assign to a group of users. This is better than creating individual learning plans for many different students and means you only need update the template and the changes will appear for all students.
*Go to ''Site administration > Competencies > Learning plan templates.'' Any existing plans are displayed here, and you can click the button 'Add new learning plan template' to create a new one.

===Adding competencies to a learning plan template===

To add competencies to a template, click the learning plan's name (under the left-hand Name column) to go to the page where you can add, edit and remove competencies. It will also show which competencies are not assigned to any course.

Once you have added competencies to the template, you can assign it to individual students, or to an entire cohort of students as described below.

==Assigning learning plans to users or cohorts==
*Once a learning plan template has been created, it may be assigned to students individually or in bulk to a (pre-made) cohort.
*If you're not already there, navigate to Site administration > Competencies > Learning plan templates.
*On the row for the template you wish to assign, click the "Edit" icon. A dropdown menu will appear showing:
** Edit
** Duplicate
** Create learning plans
** Add cohorts to sync
** Delete
*'''To assign a learning plan to a cohort,''' click 'Add cohorts to sync'
{{Note|Moodle will only create 50 learning plans immediately. If you have a very large cohort, a scheduled task will create the learning plans. See MDL-52690.'''}}

[[File:cohortlp1.png]]
*Search for and add your chosen cohort(s)

[[File:cohortlp2.png]]
*A message will appear with the number of learning plans created.

*To assign a learning plan to an individual student, click 'Create learning plan'

[[File:userlp1.png]]

*Then search for and select the student(s) you wish to make the learning plans for:

[[File:userlp2.png]]

== Viewing learning plans ==

Anyone can see their own learning plans from their profile page, accessed from the user menu:

[[File:studentlearningplanaccess.png|thumb|600px|center|Learning plans in profile]]
When a student clicks the link they see which plans have been applied to them:

[[File:studentlp2.png|thumb|600px|center|Student view of assigned learning plans]]
When a student clicks the name of a learning plan, they see the associated competencies. They can see their progress towards completion and also click 'Edit' to request a review of any competency:

[[File:lp3.png|thumb|600px|center|List of competencies and requesting a review]]

*Some users (e.g. supervisors) with the [[Capabilities/moodle/competency:planview|capability to view all learning plans]] in the user context will be able to see the learning plans of other users.
*Users with the [[Capabilities/moodle/competency:planviewowndraft|capability to view their own draft learning plans]] have the ability to create a draft learning plan for themselves. A draft learning plan can be sent for approval to create an active learning plan from the draft. Note that this capability is not set for any of the default roles.
*Users with the [[Capabilities/moodle/competency:planmanagedraft|capability to manage draft learning plans]] can approve a draft learning plan.

== Evidence of prior learning ==

Anyone with the [[Capabilities/moodle/competency:userevidencemanageown|capability to manage their own evidence]] can provide a list of evidence of prior learning. This can be used to demonstrate proficiency for one or more competencies.

To upload evidence of prior learning, access your own learning plans page from your profile and click on the "Evidence of prior learning" link (1) On the next page, click on the "Add new evidence" button (2) and provide as much detail about the evidence as possible (including files and urls to verify the evidence). Once the evidence is listed, you can link it to one or more competencies from any of your learning plans. Then you can request that someone reviews your competency to decide if the evidence is sufficient and rate the competency.

Using Assignment

2014-10-06T20:42:25Z

Tabitha: /* Downloading student submissions */

{{Assignment}}

==Different Submission options==

The standard assignment submission options available are:
* File submissions (students submit a file for assessment)
* Online text (students can type their responses directly in Moodle)
* Submission comments

''Note: It is also possible to use the assignment module for grading an "offline assignment", ie, one where work is done outside of Moodle. This is done by simply unchecking the above three options.''

==Which submission type suits you best?==

===You want students to type shorter or longer responses directly online===

*Set ''Online text'' to Yes. This works well for younger children who will only manage a sentence or two and works just as well for higher education students who write more.
**Advantage - quick for the student to get started; no need to use a word-processing program and upload the file.
**Disadvantage - potential worries that if the internet goes down, the work students have typed in and not yet saved might be lost. If the word count is expected to be large, setting ''Online text'' to No and ''File submission'' to Yes might be a better option.

===You want students to submit work you can download in a specified program===

*Set ''File submission'' to Yes, set the number of files you will allow using the ''Maximum number of uploaded files'' setting and the file sizes by using the '' Maximum submission size'' setting.
**Advantage - better than students emailing work as the whole class's work is collated in one space on your course. Markers can provide comments directly on the student work.
**Advantage - with "Attempts reopened" enabled, teachers can see the progression through various drafts of a student's work.
**Disadvantage - assignments must downloaded to be viewed (but they can be [[Assignment_FAQ| downloaded in bulk]]) and the teacher needs the appropriate program to open them.

===You want students to submit files at different times for a project===

*Set ''File submission'' to Yes, and use ''Maximum number of uploaded files'' to set the maximum number of separate files they can upload
**Advantage - all project files are in one assignment area for grading so they get a single grade.
**Disadvantage - all project files are in one assignment area for grading - so they can only have a single grade!

===You want students to write a response to a video/sound file/image===

*Set up an assignment allowing ''online text'' submission and get students to use the Moodle media icon to add video/sound/image files.

===You want students to answer a series of questions on a video/sound file/image===
*Investigate the [[Quiz]] module. Assignments are really just for a single question.

===You want to grade work students have done offline===
*Uncheck the submission types when setting up the assignment. Students won't be required to do anything but you can use the assignment to grade them for work done outside of Moodle.

===You want to view, comment on and send back students' assignments===

*Set up an assignment allowing ''file submissions''.
**Advantage: useful for teachers who like using the "comment" options in word-processing programs for example. If you have Ghostscript enabled on your server and the students upload PDF files, you can annotate them inline. See the section [[Using Assignment#Annotating PDF files| Annotating PDF files]] below.
**Disadvantage: if students upload other file types, you have to download them, comment and then re-upload them.

===You want students to send you a comment or note along with their uploaded work===

*In the settings, set ''Submission comments'' to Yes.

===You want to allow students to redraft and decide when to submit the work===

*In the settings set ''Require students click submit button'' to Yes. Students can then control when their draft work is submitted to the teacher.

===You want students to keep an ongoing journal or do an iterative assignment===

*In the settings set ''Require students click submit button'' to No. Students can continue to make changes to their assignment and at no point do they 'submit'. If the work will be graded at some point it is recommended that either ''Prevent late submissions'' is set to Yes to ensure that no changes can be made after the due date, or [[Using_Assignment#Submission_status| all submissions are locked]] when grading commences to ensure that the work is not altered during grading.
**Advantage: the work remains in one place and is constantly improved, graded (if needed) and improved again.
**Disadvantage: there is no record/history of previous attempts (such as with the [[Wiki]]). The online text assignment does not replicate the display of a journal or blog where each new entry is additional to the previous ones.

===You want students to submit work in groups===

*In the settings, set "Students submit in groups" to Yes. If you just do this, then once one student has submitted, the assignment will be flagged as submitted even if the others haven't contributed. If you want to ensure everyone has an input, set "Require students click submit button" to Yes and then change "Require all group members to submit" to Yes. The assignment will only be classed as submitted when each member has contributed, and once one student has submitted, the remaining members's names will be displayed for the group to see who still needs to add their input.

===You want to grade students' work anonymously===
*In the settings, choose "Blind marking". When students submit assignments, their names will be replaced by radomly generated participant numbers so you will not know who is who. Note that this is not '''totally'''''Italic text''
blind marking because you can reveal their identities in the assignment settings and you can work out identities from the logs - so this might not be suitable if your establishment has very precise privacy requirements.

===You want to read and grade student assignments offline===
*In the settings, choose "Offline grading worksheet". When students have submitted, click "View/grade all submissions" and you can download their assignments from the link "Download all submission" and download the grading sheet from the link "Download grading worksheet". You can then edit grades and re-upload the grading worksheet. You can also upload multiple feedback files in a zip from this drop down menu. See [[Assignment settings]] for an explanation of how to use the "upload multiple feedback files as zip" feature.
===You want to hide students' grades until a time of your choosing.===
Use 'marking workflow' as explained in [[Assignment settings]]

===You want to moderate other colleagues' marking or allocate certain teachers to certain students===
Use 'marking allocation' as explained in [[Assignment settings]]
==How do students submit their assignments?==
The first page students will see when they click on the assignment activity link from the course page will display the assignment name, description and the submission status. The first time a student views the assignment it will look like this:
{|
|[[Image:statuses.jpg|thumb|Student view of assignment]]
|}
The submission status section includes:
*'''Submission status'''
*'''Grading status'''
*Due date
*Time remaining
*Last modified
*Submission details

As they progress through the assignment the Submission status and Grading status will update and the Last modified date will appear.
{|
|[[Image:submission statuses graded.jpg|thumb|Example of submitted and graded assignment]]
|}

If the student uploaded a pdf file which the teacher has annotated, this will be made available in the feedback section. The student can search through the document and filter specific comments.
{|
|[[File:26pdfstudentgraded.png|thumb|Student view of graded pdf file]]
|[[File:26searchcomments.png|thumb|Searching and filtering comments in annotated pdf]]
|}
Submission statuses include:

*Nothing submitted for this assignment
*Draft (not submitted)
*Submitted for grading

Grading statuses include:

*Not graded
*Graded

===File submission===
To submit a file submission, students complete the following steps:
*Click the ‘Add submission’ button to bring up the file upload page.

*Upload the relevant file into the submission. They are able to ‘drag and drop’ the file into the submission box.
*Click ‘Save Changes’.
*There should now be a Last modified date and the file(s) uploaded will also be displayed.

*Depending on how the assignment is setup the status will either read ‘Submitted for grading’ - in which case no further action is need, or ‘Draft (not submitted)’.
*If changes are required, click on ‘Edit my submission’.
*Once ready to submit, click ‘Submit assignment’. Note that once the assignment is 'submitted’ no further changes are allowed.

{|
|[[File:file upload.jpg|thumb|Student view when adding a submission]]
|[[File:file uploaded.jpg|thumb|Student view once file is uploaded]]
|[[File:submit button.jpg|thumb|Student view when submitting assignment]]
|}
Note: Depending on how the assignment is setup students may see '''both''' a file submission page and an online text editor.

===Online text===
To submit online text, students complete the following steps:
*Click the ‘Add submission’ button to bring up the online text editor page

*Type the relevant text into the [[Text_editor|text editor]], or paste from a previously written file.
*Click ‘Save Changes’.
*There should now be a Last modified date and the first 100 characters entered will also be displayed.

*Depending on how the assignment is setup the status will either read ‘Submitted for grading’ - in which case no further action is need, or ‘Draft (not submitted)’
*If changes are required, click on ‘Edit my submission’.
*Once ready to submit, click ‘Submit assignment’. Note that once the assignment is 'submitted’ no further changes are allowed.

===Submission comments===
Depending on how the assignment has been setup, there may be a section where students can leave submission comments.
{|
|[[Image:student comments.jpg|thumb|Student comments]]
|}

==Submission notifications==
Moodle allows the sending of a notification to the student when a student submits an assignment. This feature provides reassurance to the students that they have correctly submitted their assignments, especially when using features like draft submissions and file uploads. Moodle also allows notifications to teachers either when students submit assignments, or when students submit assignments late, or both. This feature notifies markers of the presence of assignments, or provides a reminder to access assignments submitted after the due date.

'''Why is this useful?'''
*Provides a receipt for student that the assignment has been successfully submitted
*Provides notification to marker that assignment are submitted
*Notifies of any changes to submission - for student’s record and to notify marker
*Provides notification to student that assignment feedback is available
*'''Note''': When '''blind marking''' is used, students ''will'' receive a notification, but will ''not'' see feedback until all submissions are marked and '''reveal student identities''' is clicked. That releases rubric marks and inline comment feedback to all students.

'''When is it sent?'''

If ‘Require students to hit submit button’ is enabled within the assignment (formerly ‘enable send for marking button’ in 2.2), which requires students to click a final submit button and prevents further changes, only one notification will be sent upon hitting the submit button.

If ‘Require students to hit submit button’ is not enabled, and students are allowed to make alterations or add/remove files from their submission, this receipt will be sent every time the file is altered - ie once on adding the file, once on adding a second file, once on removal of file, once on uploading a new file.

'''Where are these settings?'''

Submission Notification for Grader - ''Assignment > Edit Settings''
The grader is given two options:
*Notify Graders about Submissions - YES/NO
*Notify Graders about Late Submissions - YES/NO

The first option will notify the grader on any/all submissions made. The second will only send a notification for assignments submitted after the ‘Due Date’.

The Late Submissions option will be greyed out unless ‘Notify Graders about Submissions’ is selected as NO because ‘Notify Graders about Submissions’ will also send receipts for assignments submitted after the due date. To fully disable the grader receiving notifications, change both options to NO.

Submission Notification for Students - ''My Profile Settings > Messaging''
Tickboxes on the messaging page can be set by the student depending on their preference. A student can opt to receive notification via email, popup message, jabber or -if enabled by admin -mobile phone.

{|
|[[File:grader notifications.jpg|thumb|Grader notifications]]
|[[File:assnotif27.png|thumb|450px|Student notifications]]
|}

Assignment notification - On submission of an assignment, the student will receive a notification that their assignment has been successfully received.

==Viewing and grading submitted assignments==
When students have submitted their assignments, they can be accessed by clicking on the assignment activity. This will bring up the Grading Summary page.

The Grading Summary page displays a summary of the assignment, including; number of participants, number of drafts, number of submitted assignments, due date and time remaining.

Clicking on the the ‘View/grade all submissions’ link will bring up the Grading Table.

The Grading Table contains columns of information about the student, the status of their submission, a link to grade their submission, a link to each submission and feedback comments and files (if enabled).
===Filtering submissions===

{{New features}}
A dropdown menu accessed from the 'Options' section allows you to filter submissions so you can for example quickly see which students have not submitted yet.

[[File:assignmentfilter.png]]

===Submission status===
If you will be assigning grades to student work, you may want to take note of the submission status before you begin the marking process. If you have required students click the Submit button, you may find that some submissions are still marked as Draft (not submitted), meaning the student has either uploaded a file(s) or entered some text, but has not clicked ‘Submit assignment’.

If it's after the due date and you are about to commencing marking that you use ‘Prevent submission changes’ to stop students from making changes to their assignment. You can do this one by one by using the icon in the Edit column.

Or you can select two or more students by putting a tick in the select column and going to 'Lock submissions’ from the ''With selected'' menu under the grading table.

Likewise you can also revert a student's submission to draft if they have uploaded the incorrect file. Instead of selecting ‘Prevent submission changes’ select ‘Revert the submission to draft’, or place ticks against selected students and choose 'Revert the submission to draft status' from the ''With selected'' menu under the grading table.

{|

|[[File:lock submissions.jpg|thumb|Lock submissions]]
|[[File:revert to draft.jpg|thumb|Revert to draft]]
|[[File:revert submission to draft status.jpg|thumb|Revert to draft status]]
|}

===Quick grading===
Under Options (scroll to bottom of the page) you can determine your preferences for the number of assignments you wish to display per page. You can also filter assignments either to show all (no filter), submitted, or requires grading. This is also where you can turn on '''quick grading'''.

'''Quick grading''' allows you to enter grades and a feedback comment (if enabled in [[Assignment settings]]) directly into the grading table. '''Quick grading''' is not compatible with advanced grading and is not recommended when there are multiple markers.

#You can enter grades and feedback comments using quick grading. '''It is now possible to enter grades in decimal format.''' You will not be able to return a feedback file to your students (if enabled in the [[Assignment settings]]).
#Enter the grades
#Scroll to the bottom of the grading table and click 'Save all quick grading changes'
#A confirmation screen will appear.

===Student grading page===
If you have enabled File Feedback in the [[Assignment settings]] and wish to upload either the marked student assignment, a completed text based feedback document or audio feedback, click on the green tick in the Grade column (or use the icon in the Edit column and select Grade).

Here you can enter grades, feedback comments and feedback files (if enabled in the [[Assignment settings]]). You can use drag and drop to upload feedback files.

{|
|[[File:green tick.jpg|thumb|Green tick]]
|[[File:grade.jpg|thumb|Grading]]
|[[File:feedbackfiles.png|thumb|Feedback files]]
|}

====Annotating PDF files====

If the student has uploaded a PDF file you will see a link to Launch the PDF editor on the students' individual grading screen. This will display the PDF inline, allowing you to annotate it, using a variety of tools, stamps (if uploaded by the admin) and comments which may be saved to a comments bank. When the annotations are complete, clicking to save the changes will result in it being displayed to the student as part of their feedback. ''(Note that simply clicking on the file itself will not display it inline for annotating.)
''
{|
|[[File:26launchpdf.png|thumb|Teacher view when grading a pdf]]
|[[File:26annotatepdf.png|thumb|Annotating a pdf]]
|[[File:26pdfsavechanges.png|thumb|Make sure you save the changes]]
|}
Comments may be added and then saved in a quick list for future use. When adding a new comment, click the icon top right to access previously saved comments:
{|
|[[File:26commentquicklist.png|thumb|Saving and re-using comments]]
|}

Note: The annotate PDF feature requires Ghostscript to be installed on the server. This can be checked in ''Administration > Site administration > Plugins > Activity modules > Assignments > Feedback plugins > Annotate PDF''.

===Controlling when to notify students of graded work===
{{New features}}

[[File:notifystudents.png|center|thumb|500px]]

A checkbox is available when grading individual students. Choose Yes to notify them immediately or No to grade without notifying the student.

===Downloading student submissions===
You can download a zip file containing all of the assignment submissions by selecting the ‘Download all submissions’ options from the ''Choose'' menu at the top of the grading table, or in the settings menu.

File submissions will be downloaded in the format uploaded by the student. Online text submissions will be downloaded as html files. '''Each file in the zip will include the student first and lastname at the beginning of the filename for identification purposes.'''

''Note - the files will have a Moodle unique identifier appended to the name, not your institutional student ID number.''

==Keeping records (archiving, exporting, backing up)==
When students unenrol from a Moodle area, their records become invisible through the Gradebook interface. In order to have the information to hand, departments or course teaching teams may need systems in place to keep their own records for the data retention period required in their particular context. There are two separate procedures for exporting student submissions and marks.

To export marks (with or without feedback):
#Go to your course area
#From its front page Settings block, select Grades; the Grader Report loads.
#From the Grader Report Settings block, select Export; a menu displays.
#From the menu, if you need easy viewing and running calculations you probably want to select one of the spreadsheet formats; a page of export settings loads
#Use the Visible Groups pulldown menu to limit the export to specific groups, as required
#In Options, you indicate whether feedback comments are included
#In Grade Items To Be Included lists you can, if required, omit particular Activities from the report
#When you've finished with the settings, click on Submit; a preview of your export displays
#Click on Download to export to the format you chose, and save the file.

To download the original student submissions:
#In your course area, click the link to the Assignment whose submissions you want to download.
#Click on the link to View/Grade all submissions; the Grading Table will load.
#Click the link to 'Download all submissions' (either from the ''Choose'' menu or from the Settings block), and save the file.

==Tips and Tricks==
* Want to use an Assignment activity again in another Moodle site? Use the [[Activity_backup| backup and restore]] options.
*Want to use an Assignment activity in another course you teach? Use the [[Import_course_data| Import function]] in the course administration block.
*Moodle will sometimes appear not to be uploading a resubmitted assignment - you seem to be downloading the original assignment. This is a cache issue, in short, go to ''"Tools > Clear Recent History"'' in Firefox or ''"Tools > Delete Browsing History > Delete Temporary Files"'' in Windows Explorer. The newer file will then appear.

Upload users

2012-02-28T04:19:56Z

Tabitha:

{{Accounts}}
An administrator can upload multiple user accounts via text file in ''Settings > Site administration > Users > Accounts > Upload users''.

There are many robust options for uploading information (fields associated with a user) with this method: from enrolling users in multiple courses with course specific [[Roles|roles]] to updating user information in the [[User profile]] to deleting users from the site.

''Tip:'' It is usually not necessary to upload users in bulk with Upload users. To keep maintenance work down you should first explore forms of authentication that do not require manual maintenance, such as [[External database authentication|connecting to existing external databases]] or letting the users create their own accounts ([[Self enrolment]]). See [[Authentication]] for more information.

[[File:Upload users initial 2.0.JPG|thumb|center|Initial upload users screen 2.1]]

==Upload user process==
Here is an outline of the process:

# Create file for uploading
# Go to ''Settings > Site administration > Users > Accounts > Upload users''
# Add file to upload
# Upload users preview - check settings and default user profile settings
# Upload users preview - click "Upload users"
# Upload users results - shows list of users, exceptions made in upload and summary of number of users
# Upload users results - click "Continue"
# Returns to Upload users screen

==Updating users preview==
There are settings for the kind of Upload user function you want to perform on the "Upload users preview" page.
[[File:Upload users preview 2.0.JPG|thumb|center|Upload users preview in Moodle 2.x]]

===Updating existing accounts===

By default Moodle adds new user accounts and skips existing users lines where the <code>username</code> matches an existing account. Set "Upload Type" to '''Add new and update existing users''', and existing user account will be updated.
*Add all, append number to usernames if needed
*Add new and update existing users
*Update existing users only
There are also fields settings to force password change, allow renames, allow deletes, prevent email address duplicates, standardise usernames and select for bulk operations(new users. updated users, all users).

'''Warning''': errors updating existing accounts can affect your users badly. Be careful when using the options to update.

===Set default user values===

You may be able to set default user field values, if the fields were not included in the uploaded file on this page.

==Upload user results ==
After accepting the preview settings by clicking on "Upload users", you should see the the Upload users results screen.
[[File:Upload users results 2.0.JPG|thumb|center|The 2.0 results screen, everything went well]]
This screen will show you any exceptions or changes that were made to each user in the upload process. For example if you were updating user information, the updated information will be shown. Or if a user was not added that record will be highlighted.

The screen will summarize how many users were uploaded or updated, indicate the number of weak passwords and the number of errors.

==File formats for upload users file==
The upload files have their fields separated by a comma (or other delimiter). The first line contains the valid field names. The rest of the lines (records) contain information about each user.

'':Tip:'' If you are not an expert, avoid special characters in field information like quotes or other commas. Test a file with only one record before a large upload. Remember there are other ways to authenticate users on you site or enroll users in a course.

'':Tip:'' You can use a spread sheet program to create the file with the required columns and fields. Then save the file as "CSV (comma delimited)". These files can be opened with simple text editors for verification.

===Valid upload file for testing===
Here is an example of a simple valid upload file:

<code>username, password, firstname, lastname, email, course1, group1, cohort1 
jonest, verysecret, Tom, Jones, jonest@someplace.edu, math102, Section 1, year 3 
reznort, somesecret, Trent, Reznor, reznort@someplace.edu, math102, Section 3, year 4</code>

===Fields that can be included===
'':Tip:'' We strongly recommend that you test a file that contains fields you proposed to use with one user before attempting a file upload for the first time. demo.moodle.net might be a good place to see if your test file works.

*'''Required fields''':
:<code>username, firstname, lastname, email</code>
:Validity checks are performed for:
#<code>username</code> can only contain alphabetical '''lowercase''' letters , numbers, hypen '-', underscore '_', period '.', or at-sign '@'
#<code>email</code> is in the form: ''name@example.com'' .

*'''Password field''': "password" field is optional if "Create password if needed" setting is chosen (default).
**If included, values should meet the requirements for the site's [[Site_policies#Password_policy|Password policy]]. To force password change for a particular user, set the password field to <code>changeme</code>.
**If omitted, a password will be generated for each user (during the next Cron job) and welcome e-mails sent out (not working in v2.0.2?).

*'''Optional fields''': To provide values other than the default include one or more of these
:<code>institution, department, city, country, lang, auth, ajax, timezone, idnumber, icq, phone1, phone2, address, url, description, mailformat, maildisplay, htmleditor, autosubscribe</code>
*Country- use a country TWO LETTER CODE
*Some fields have a maximum number of characters that are allow. See hints below.
*Maildisplay, htmleditor and autosubscribe can be set from an import screen in Moodle 2.0.

*'''Custom profile field names''': (Optional). xxxxx is the real custom user profile field name (i.e. the unique shortname)
:<code>profile_field_xxxxx</code>
: Create the custom fields BEFORE importing. Use the standard header. The "shortname" for your custom field is xxxxx (NB: as at v2.0.2, the shortname must be all lowercase, otherwise won't be recognised). The first record must include "profile_field_xxxxx".
:'''Example''': To create a custom field "genre", you must write a shortname "genre" in the new field, and write "profile_field_genre" in the header of the .csv file.

*'''Special fields''': Used for changing of usernames or deleting of users
:<code>oldusername</code>, <code>deleted</code>

*'''Enrolment fields''': (Optional):
:<code>course1, type1, role1, group1, enrolperiod1, course2, type2, role2, group2, enrolperiod2</code> etc.

:*<code>course</code> is the "shortname" of the course, if present the user will be enrolled in those courses.
:* <code>type</code> refers to the role to be used for associated course enrolment. Value 1 is default course role, 2 is legacy Teacher role and 3 is legacy Non-editing Teacher.
:* You can use role field instead to specify roles directly - use either role short name or id (numeric names of roles are not supported).
:* Users may be also assigned to groups in course (group1 in course1, group2 in course2, etc.).
:* A group is identified by name or id (numeric group names are not supported)
:* You can set the enrolment duration, in days, for each course (<code>enrolperiod1</code> for <code>course1</code>, <code>enrolperiod2</code> for <code>course2</code>, etc.).

{{New features}}*'''Cohort field''': (Optional):
:<code>cohort1</code>

:Cohort ids (not names) of existing cohorts must be used

Commas within a field must be encoded as &#44 - the script will decode these back to commas.

For Boolean fields, use <code>0</code> for false and <code>1</code> for true.

To prevent users from receiving a large number of emails from courses or forced subscription forums use the '''maildigest'''. The options for this field are 0 = No digest, 1 = Complete digest and 2 = Digest with just subjects.

==Advanced potentials of Upload user==
===Templates===

''Note: This section needs checking and updating if necessary for Moodle 2.0. Please do so and remove this note when finished.''

The default values are processed as templates in which the following codes are allowed:

* %l - will be replaced by the lastname
* %f - will be replaced by the firstname
* %u - will be replaced by the username
* %% - will be replaced by the %

Between the percent sign (%) and any code letter (l, f or u) the following modifiers are allowed:

* (-) minus sign - the information specified by the code letter will be converted to lowercase
* (+) plus sign - the information specified by the code letter will be converted to UPPERCASE
* (~) tilde sign - the information specified by the code letter will be converted to Title Case
* a decimal number - the information specified by the code letter will be truncated to that many characters

For example, if the firstname is John and the lastname is Doe, the following values will be obtained with the specified templates:

* %l%f = DoeJohn
* %l%1f = DoeJ
* %-l%+f = doeJOHN
* %-f_%-l = john_doe
*<nowiki> http://www.example.com/~%u/</nowiki> results in <nowiki>http://www.example.com/~jdoe/</nowiki> (if the username is jdoe or %-1f%-l)

Template processing is done only on default values, and not on the values retrieved from the CSV file.

In order to create correct Moodle usernames, the username is always converted to lowercase. Moreover, if the "Allow extended characters in usernames" option in the Site policies page is off, characters different to letters, digits, dash (-) and dot (.) are removed. For example if the firstname is John Jr. and the lastname is Doe, the username %-f_%-l will produce john jr._doe when Allow extended characters in usernames is on, and johnjr.doe when off.

When the "New username duplicate handling" setting is set to Append counter, an auto-increment counter will be append to duplicate usernames produced by the template. For example, if the CSV file contains the users named John Doe, Jane Doe and Jenny Doe without explicit usernames, the default username is %-1f%-l and New username duplicate handling is set to Append counter, then the usernames produced will be jdoe, jdoe2 and jdoe3.

===Deleting accounts===

If the <code>deleted</code> field is present, users with value 1 for it will be deleted. In this case, all the fields may be omitted, except for <code>username</code>. After uploading the file, be sure to change the "Upload type" to "Update existing users only" and the "Allow deletes" option to "Yes".

Deleting and uploading accounts could be done with a single CSV file. For example, the following file will add the user Tom Jones and delete the user reznort:

username, firstname, lastname, deleted
jonest, Tom, Jones, 0
reznort, , , 1

==Encoding file format==
On the initial Upload user screen, you may select the file encoding format from a pull down list. These include UTF-8 (the default), ASCII, ISO-8859-1 to ISO-8859-11 or any one of over 36 formats.

==Hints==

===Spreadsheet===

If you use a spreadsheet program such as Excel to create your .csv file, check the resulting output in a text editor before you upload it. It is possible to get trailing commas on each line from an empty field if you have added and deleted columns of information prior to saving the final file. Also check the character encoding. A csv file is a simple text file (ASCII or Unicode) that can be used to upload user accounts.

Excel translates passwords that begin with - (minus) or + (plus) as zero. Even when saving as .csv and saying "Yes" to "Keep this format, and leave out any incompatible features." Check for this before uploading, as a zero halts the upload process.

If you use a formula in Excel to create fields (for example, the concatenate function to create a user name), then remember to copy the cells with the formula and use special paste with values checked to make them into an acceptable data for a csv file.

===Country===
The country should be written as a two letter code, in capitals. For example, use BE for Belgium or NL for the Netherlands. Using "be" or "nl" as a country code will result in a database error.
:''Tip:'' If you are having trouble working out the two-letter code for a country, you can consult this Moodle source code file /moodle/lang/en_utf8/countries.php [http://cvs.moodle.org/moodle/lang/en_utf8/countries.php?view=markup&pathrev=MOODLE_19_STABLE or click here for a 1.9 STABLE list].
ISO Website: [http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes/iso_3166_code_lists/english_country_names_and_code_elements.htm]
===Field size limits===
Some fields have maximum character lengths. Typically the file will import to the preview list screen but not finish the process. Turn on debug to see the fields that are too long. A common field to cause problems is the "Institution" field which has a limit of 40 characters.
===All fields listed here===
:All the fields that are valid in 2.1 are listed below, except for any custom fields you may have created.
firstname, lastname, username, email, city, country, lang, timezone, mailformat, maildisplay, maildigest, htmleditor, ajax, autosubscribe ,institution, department, idnumber, skype , msn, aim, yahoo, icq, phone1, phone2, address, url, description, descriptionformat, password, auth, oldusername , deleted, course1, course2, course3, course4

Question permissions explained with diagrams

2010-11-24T21:15:33Z

Tabitha: /* 1. Setting the scene */

==A simple story==

===1. Setting the scene===

For this explanation, we will imagine we have this very simple Moodle site. There are three courses, all in the Miscellaneous category. The courses have a few activities in them.

[[Image:QuestionPermissions1.png]]

===2. Introducing Fred===

We will focus on a particular user: Fred. Fred is a teacher in two of the courses. In Moodle, everyone gets some permissions throughout the whole Moodle site because they are logged in. Additionally, Fred gets more permissions in the courses he teaches, and all the activities in those courses, because he has the teacher role there.

[[Image:QuestionPermissions2.png]]

===3. Using questions in a course===

Fred creates some questions in his maths course and adds them to the quiz. Why does this work?

By default, questions are created in the question bank in a category that belongs to that course. Fred is a teacher in the course. Teachers are allowed to create questions. Therefore Fred can create the questions, and they get stored linked to the course.

The quiz is in the course. Fred is a teacher in the course, so Fred has permission to add questions to the quiz. The quiz is in the course, so the course questions are potentially available. Fred is a teacher in the course, so he is allowed use the questions in the course question bank. Therefore Fred can add the questions to his quiz.

[[Image:QuestionPermissions3.png]]

===4. Trying to share questions===

Fred now wants to reuse some of his questions in his biology course. However, the biology quiz is not in the maths course, so the questions are not available.

So Fred's friendly Moodle administrator Annie moves the questions into the part of the question bank associated with the category Miscellaneous. Disaster! now Fred can't see his questions at all. Why not?

Now the questions are outside the course. Fred has no extra permissions outside the course, so he cannot access the questions there.

[[Image:QuestionPermissions4.png]]

===5. Successfully sharing questions===

Annie creates a new role 'Question user' that allows all the permissions needed to access the question bank. Annie assigns Fred that role in the whole system. Now Fred can see his questions from within both courses, edit them, and add them to his quizzes. Why?

The questions are linked to category Miscellaneous. Miscellaneous is inside the system. Fred is a Question user in the system. Question users can access the question bank. So Fred can access this part of the question bank.

The quizzes are in courses where Fred is a teacher, so Fred is has permission to add questions to the quizzes. The quizzes are in the Miscellaneous category, so the questions in that part of the question bank are potentially available. We have just seen that Fred has permission to access these question. Therefore Fred can add these questions to his quizzes.

[[Image:QuestionPermissions5.png]]

==Summary of the rules==

Questions are stored in the question bank linked to some part of your Moodle system (technically a context). The part of the system might be (and most often is) a course, or a course category, the whole system, or an individual activity.

===To create and editing questions===

you must have the appropriate [[Question_permissions|capability]] in the part of the system where the questions are stored, to have permission to do the corresponding operation (add, edit, ...).

===To add questions to a quiz===

three checks have to pass:
# You must have the mod/quiz:manage capability in that quiz, to have permission to add questions to it.
# The quiz must be inside the part of the system where the questions are stored, in order for the questions to be available in the quiz.
# You must have the moodle/question:use(all/mine) capability in the part of the system where the questions are stored, to have permission to use those questions.

Groups

2010-09-12T22:05:34Z

Tabitha:

{{Groups}}
The '''Groups''' feature allows a teacher to assign teachers and students to one or more groups. This can be on the course or on the activity level.

Using groups on the course or activity level will allow the teacher to:

*Completely isolate groups of students by sight and activity from each other.
*Partially separate groups, where one group can see other groups and each groups' activity, but not interact with the other group(s).
*Identify each group with an icon.

The groups feature can allow different cohorts of students (and their teachers) to take the same course asynchronously without creating a "new" course. Or it allows 1 course with a large student enrolment to place students into sections, each section having their own teacher. Or it allows 1 course that is used by different departments.

{{Moodle 1.9}}
Groups must be enabled in the [[Course_settings]]. After it is enabled a group icon will appear in the [[Course administration block]].

The [[Image:Group.gif]] icon links to the Groups screen. There are 3 tabs on this screen:
*Groups - create/edit a group, add/subtract members,
*Groupings - create groups of individual groups
*Overview

==Groups tab==
This screen changes depending upon the edit button which is selected below the "Groups" and "Members of" lists. You will find buttons for: Show members of group, Edit group settings, Delete selected group, Create group, and Auto create group.

===Create a group===
Select the Create a group button. Give the group a name and a description. The [[enrolment key]] field will allow a user to enter the course and will automatically make them a member of this group. Uploading a group icon, will place the icon on the participants listing, forum posts by those group members and other places. The Save button takes you back to the Group tab screen.

:''TIP:'' For the enrolment key to work you will need to define a separate course enrolment key in your 'course settings').
:''TIP:'' To assign a group icon, you will need to have permission to add a picture to your profile.

===Add or remove group members ===
After creating a group, highlight a group and click the "Add members" button below the "Members of" list. The screen will change. Next you will see the add and remove buttons between 2 lists.

Highlite members you wish to add or remove. Remember you can use the Crtl key to select more than one person.

===Auto-create groups===
From the groups tab, it is possible to automate the creation of groups. Auto creation is a powerful tool which can allocate members to groups by several methods (alpha or randomly), set maximum number of members, create a unique group name and even assisn the new group to a grouping.

See [[Auto-create groups]] for more information.

===Adding/subtracting people in a group===
To [[Assign users to group|add a member]](s) to a group you need to select the group name in the left column, then select the participants (use shift or ctrl for multiple selections), from the right column. Click the "Add" button to move them to the selected group..

To remove participants from a group, select the appropriate group to view members, select the participants to remove and click the "Remove selected members" button.

==Groupings tab==
Groupings allow you combine individual groups, which then become a group itself.

See [[Groupings]] for more information.

==Overview tab==
The overview tab shows course groupings, and membership of each group.

See [[Groups overview]] for more information

==Using groups in course or activity==

A group or grouping can be used on two levels:

* '''Course level''' - the group mode defined at the course level is the default mode for all activities defined within that course. This is determined in the course [[Course_settings|settings]]

* '''Activity level''' - each activity that supports groups can also have its own group mode defined. If the course setting "Force group mode" is set to "Yes" then the option to define the group mode for individual activities is not available.

[[Image:forceNo.png]]

'''AND'''

[[Image:forceYes.png]]

'''There are three group modes:'''

===No groups===
:There are no sub groups, everyone is part of one big community.

===Separate groups===
:Each group can only see their own group, others are invisible.

===Visible groups===
:Each group works in their own group, but can also see other groups. (The other groups' work is read-only.)

==Groups in older Moodle versions==
===Groups in 1.8===
[[Image:Groups 1.8.png|thumb|center|Edit groups screen in Moodle 1.8]]

Please note, in Moodle 1.8 onwards, [[Create group|groups are created]] and [[Assign users to group|users are assigned]] on separate pages.

===Groups pre -1.8===
[[Image:000.jpg|left|thumb|Groups in Moodle 1.7]]In Moodle 1.6 and 1.7, the Groups edit page has three columns:

* ''People in the course'' - both assigned and unassigned participants.

* ''Groups'' - A list of groups available for this course.

* ''Members of selected group'' - When you select a group this column will display the members of that group

Underneath each column are the options for that column.
