Unitu Moodle Plugin (Together We Changed)

Purpose

This plugin provides the ability to display posts from Unitu’s Together We Changed (twc) in Moodle. There are two types of posts: Feedback from the Board page, which has been moved to closed and marked as twc, and Actions created from a Touch Point, which have been marked as completed and twc.

The aim is to make staying informed about university changes easier and more natural for students by incorporating this feature into the platforms they use every day.
