BCU Course Checks carries out a number of automated checks on a course. Checks can be configured by site admin and overridden within a specific course. Checks were designed to encourage a minimum standard of course quality by alerting editors of common mistakes and encouraging the use of specified activities or blocks.
The block also has the option to allow users to "clear down" empty sections within a course in a single click. This won't delete any sections that have either content or a section summary.
The checks that can be carried out by this block are:
- Checks that the course has a summary
- Check the course has an image set (Moodle 2.6+ has this feature)
- Checks that the course is visible to students
- Checks that guest access has been disabled on the course (avoiding issues of students accidentally accessing as guest when they should be enrolled)
- Check that section headings have been renamed from their defaults
- Check that all sections have a summary
- Check that there are no empty sections and that they all have content
- Allows site administrators to recommend specific blocks are used in each course
- Allows site administrators to recommend specific activities are used in each course
