EJSApp Activity

The EJSApp activity plugin allows users to embedd Easy Java Simulations (EJS) applications into a Moodle course. This plugin works with version 2.0 or higher of Moodle.

EJSApp plugin is still in its last development stage. Right now, it can be downloaded from Github. Soon, probably at the end of this year, it will also be available for download from Moodle.org.

As with any customization, it is recommended that you have a good backup of your Moodle site before attempting to install contributed code. While those contributing code make every effort to provide the best code that they can, using contributed code nevertheless entails a certain degree of risk as contributed code is not as carefully reviewed and/or tested as the Moodle core code.

EJSApp is useful for adding simulations or remote laboratories into your Moodle courses, which is of especial interest for those of scientific or technical nature. More information about EJS and EJSApp can be obtained at http://www.um.es/fem/EjsWiki/Main/UsingEJSWithMoodle.

Installation

  • Code - Copy the files into your Moodle mod folder ($CFG->dirroot/mod)
  • Database - Login in as a Moodle Administrator and go to the Administration notifications page to create the required EJSApp tables.
