The Sookooroo module allows a course manager to add a link to a Sookooroo virtual room in a course section.
Sookooroo is a live knowledge exchange community. It is a social networking service for people to share knowledge in advanced virtual meeting rooms.
Features
- Course participants can access the virtual room without signing up on the Sookooroo website.
- Moodle pictures of users who are in the room are displayed both on the course page and in the virtual room.
- Guests can access to the virtual room when the course is open to guests. Guests are assigned unique keys and obtain distinct identities in the virtual room.
- Users with capability sookooroo:moderator are identified as such in the virtual room (defaults to editingteacher and manager roles).
- The same room can be linked from different moodle courses (as well as from outside moodle).
