New feature
in Moodle 4.2!
In Moodle 3.4.2 onwards, a 'Digital age of consent verification' may be enabled in 'Privacy settings' in the Site administration.
The default digital age of consent, and the age in any country where it differs from the default, may be specified. Country codes are as specified in ISO 3166-2.
Site policy settings
In Site policies in the Site administration:
- Force users to login by checking the forcelogin checkbox
- Keep "Force users to login for profiles" enabled to keep anonymous visitors and search engines away from user profiles
Enrolment key usage
If Self enrolment is used, in the Self enrolment settings in the Site administration:
- Enforce enrolment key usage by ticking the 'Require enrolment key' checkbox
- Enforce enrolment key complexity by ticking the 'Use password policy' checkbox
- Disable the enrolment key hint leaving the 'Show hint' checkbox unticked
Hiding user fields
Increase student privacy by hiding user fields which would normally appear on users' profile pages, and in some cases on the course participants page.
The hiddenuserfields setting is in User policies in the Site administration.
User fields which may be hidden are:
Description, city/town, country, web page, ICQ number, Skype ID, Yahoo ID, AIM ID, MSN ID, first access, last access, last IP address and my courses.
