The Calendar block displays events from the [[Calendar]], such as activity dates, and any of the following manually added events:
* Site (event viewable in all courses - created by admin users)
* Category (event viewable by all participants of courses within the category - created by admin users or other users with course category permissions)
* Course (event viewable by all course participants - created by teachers)
* Groups (event viewable only by members of a group - created by teachers)
* User (personal event a student user can create - viewable only by the user)

Other events are events created by other plugins that do not fall into the site, category, course, groups or user categories. Developer docs on how to write such component events is available in the dev doc [[:dev:Calendar_API|Calendar API]].

User tours

==About user tours==
User tours are step-by-step guides to various areas of Moodle. The [[Multi-language content filter|multi-lang filter]] allows for tours to display in different languages.

Available tours are:

* Gradebook Grader report
* Course management
* Block drawer
* Course editing
* Course index

==Creating a user tour==

# Go to ''Site administration > Appearance > User tours''.
# Here you see any existing user tours and have the option to create a new tour, import a tour or browse user tours in MoodleNet.

*For existing tours, you can click on the name or the View action icon to view the steps.
*A 'Duplicate' icon allows you to copy a tour to adapt it.

Note: You can have multiple tours created for the same page destination, but you should only have one per page enabled at one time.

*Tours are displayed on any page whose URL matches the specified path value, for instance:
**/my/% - to match the Dashboard
**/course/view.php% - to match all courses
**/course/view.php?id=2 - to match a specific course (e.g. the course with id=2)
**/mod/forum/view.php% - to match the forum discussion list
**/user/profile.php% - to match the user profile page
**FRONTPAGE to use the tour on your site's home page.

Each tour is configured with default step settings which you can edit in the settings page:

*Placement: Top, Bottom (Default), Left, Right. This determines where the step shows relative to its matching block or CSS selector on the page.
*Show if target not found: No (Default), Yes. This determines whether the step is shown or not when the target has not been found.
*Show with backdrop: No (Default), Yes. If yes, the step appears surrounded by a darkened backdrop to emphasis its content and location.
*Move on click: No (Default), Yes. If yes, the tour continues to the next step when the user clicks within the block or area targeted by the current step.

Note: If you want users to be able to fill in forms as they work through the tour, then don't use a backdrop.

*Tour filters allow you restrict when the user tour is shown (see below).

===How can I make a tour display each time?===

If it is useful to have a tour display each time a user access a particular area, from the ''Show tour'' setting, select '''each time a filter matches it'''.

==How do I add steps to a tour ?==
* Either click directly on its name or on its View action icon to view the currently listed steps.
*Here are the initial steps for a sample tour for the Dashboard page:
[[File:usertour steps page.png|thumb|600px|center]]
*Click on the 'New step' link and select what you want to highlight:
#Block - to display next to a matching block on the page. Select the block you want from the dropdown. (''Note you can select blocks which are not available on your chosen area. If they are later added, then the tour will display that step.)''
#CSS Selector - to display next to a matching selector on the page. Type in the relevant selector. (See examples below.)
#Display in the middle of the page
*Add the title and content
*For all types, select whether to display the step with a darkened backdrop
*For blocks or selectors, select the Placement option for where to place the display
*For blocks or selectors, select whether to display the step if its target isn't found
*For blocks or selectors, select whether to move on click, i.e. move to next step when target is clicked
*Click on 'Save changes'

==How do user tours work?==
[[File:usertours01.png|thumb|600px|center]]
Once a user tour has been created and enabled, the first time that any user views a page which matches that user tour's page (path) settings, the user tour will automatically start to display, starting with the first step. Each tour step will display its title and content, along with three button options:
*Prev - to return to the previous step in the tour
*Next - to go to the next step in the tour
*End Tour - to exit out of the tour completely
Any time a user wishes to re-run the page's tour, they can click on the "Reset user tour on this page" link at the bottom of the page.
==Filters==
Tours may be filtered to display depending on:
*Access date - a user tour may be restricted according to:
**Account creation
**First access
**Last access
*Category
*Exclude categories
*Courses - all courses, selected courses only, all courses except selected
*Course format
*Role
*Theme
*CSS selector - the tour will only be shown when the specified CSS selector is found on the page.

==Help with CSS selectors==
If you wish to use CSS selectors as part of your user tour, your browser's developer tools will be very useful in helping you create these selectors:
*[https://developer.chrome.com/devtools#dom-and-styles Google Chrome]
*[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/DOM_Property_Viewer Mozilla Firefox]
*[https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platform/documentation/f12-devtools-guide/ Microsoft Edge]
*[https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/AppleApplications/Conceptual/Safari_Developer_Guide/ResourcesandtheDOM/ResourcesandtheDOM.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007874-CH3-SW1 Apple Safari]

===Example of a very simple CSS selector===

[[File:CSS_selector_for_user_picture_in_a_user_tour.png|500px]]

The settings above will produce this in the user tour:

[[File:user picture chosen by CSS selector in a user tour.png|300px]]

* How did we know that .userpicture would select just the Moodle user picture?
* By looking at the page with an HTML inspector in Firefox, as described in the 'Help with CSS selectors' section above.

===Other simple CSS selector examples===
'''.breadcrumb''' These site links (known as breadcrumbs) will always show where you are in the site and how to return to a main page, such as your Dashboard or your course main page.

'''.usermenu''' This is the user menu. It contains links to your Dashboard, Messages, Profile, and your Preferences.

'''[value="Customise this page"]''' Add your own blocks of content by clicking here!

==Multi-language capability==

If your Moodle site is already set up or intending to be enabled for multi-lingual usage, tours are completely compatible with this requirement. Using the multi-lang filter formatting, each tour step's titles and content, displayed to the user, can be edited to cater for multi-lingual requirements. Please see [[Multi-language content filter]] for further detailed instructions on how to enable, format and submit multi-lingual strings for your Moodle site.

Please remember to go to '' Dashboard ► Site administration ► Plugins ► Filters ► Manage filters '' in order to enable the [[Multi-language content filter]] before importing any multi-language user tours into your site, or the users will see ALL the texts in ALL the languages simultaneously, as the following image illustrates:

[[File:Multilang user tour when multilang filter NOT properly configured.png|300px]]

When properly configured, a multi-language user tour will be automatically displayed in the user's preferred language, as seen in the following Dashboard tours starting pages in Spanish, English and French (in the same server):

[[File:Multilang user tour in Spanish.png|300px]]

[[File:Multilang user tour in English.png|300px]]

[[File:Multilang user tour in French.png|300px]]

==Translating user tours==
User tours are translated together with the language pack. See [[Contributing_a_translation|contributing a translation]] when the default tours are not translated in your language.

==A note about user tours and keyboard focus (tab stops)==

If you test your user tour with the keyboard, you may notice that sometimes there appear to be two tab stops where there should be one. For example, if you have the HTML

<pre>
<div class="my-link">
<a href="https://moodle.org/">Example link</a>
</div>
</pre>

and use the CSS selector <tt>.my-link</tt> for your tour step, then, while the tour is visible, it will appear that there are two tab stops for the one link. This is because the target of the tour is always made into a tab stop.

The way to avoid this is to target the tour at the link itself in your tour, using <tt>.my-link a</tt>. The same thing applies in other similar situations.

==Sharing user tours==

We really hope that you are able to create some really powerful tours to help guide your users around your site. We certainly think you will and we encourage you to share any of the tours you create with others. Please share your tours on [https://moodle.net/search?text=user+tours MoodleNet], our site for finding, sharing and curating open educational resources.

==User tour capabilities==

There is just one capability, which is allowed for the default role of manager:

* [[Capabilities/tool/usertours:managetours|Create, edit and remove user tours]]

{{About Moodle}}

So you've got a new Moodle account? What now? This page will help you navigate around your site as a student or teacher. Note that this guide is quite generic: your Moodle site might look different.
The video [https://youtu.be/2_MRiaZ3LXQ?si=Vw_EZzSOG5FDaXFa Finding your way around] might be useful to you.

==Your profile==

You can access your profile from the user menu top right. Click the arrow to open up the menu:

[[File:UserMenu.png|300px]]

Clicking the Profile link will then display other options, such as a list of your courses, any forum and blog entries and a link to edit your profile. Depending on the administrator's settings, you may also see a QR code to help you connect to the Moodle app and a Privacy and Policies setting where you can request an export of your data, ask for your account to be deleted or view the policies and agreements.

[[File:PrivacyPoliciesMoodleApp.png|600px|Privacy and policies and Moodle app blocks on user profile.]]

Clicking the Edit profile link will allow you to change certain information such as your timezone, add an avatar, description and, optionally, extra contact details. You cannot normally change your username and your admin might have restricted other changes too.

When you upload an image, it will appear in the user menu by your name.

==Your notifications and messages==

Your site can alert you when you have new messages from your teacher and other participants. If your teacher has enabled group messaging you will receive daily digests of group messages as well.

You can receive these alerts via email or from the message drawer on the site (accessed by clicking the speech bubble icon (1 in the screenshot) top right). From the messaging drawer you can also send yourself private reminders.

[[File:usermessaging12.png|300px|Message drawer showing three message types]]

You can control how you receive messages from ''Preferences > Message preferences'' in the user menu or by clicking the cog from the message drawer (2) in the screenshot above. The documentation [[Messaging]] gives more detail.

You can receive notifications about new forum posts or graded assignments and more. If your Moodle admin has set the site up for the mobile app, you can also receive alerts on your mobile phone. You can customise your notifications from Preferences > Notification preferences or by clicking the cog from the Notifications icon top right.

[[File:notificationpreferences.png|400px|Accessing notification preferences]]

==Important information==
How you find courses depends on how the administrator has set up the site. You might see three links: Home, Dashboard, My courses:

[[File:homedashboardcourses.png|500px|Home, Dashboard, My courses]]

'''Home''' - Some sites display all their courses on the front page and students click to enrol themselves into a course. When you are logged in, some home pages (site front pages) may display only the courses you are enrolled in (to avoid clutter and confusion).

'''Dashboard''' - This is your personal page which you can customise and view a timeline of any outstanding tasks. More information in the section below.

'''My courses''' - This is where you see courses you are enrolled in and can search and filter them. More information in the section below.

==Your dashboard==
Every user has their own dashboard which they can customise. The documentation on '''[[Dashboard]]''' gives further information.

[[File:timeline.png|500px]]

You can access your dashboard quickly, from the user menu top right and your site may redirect you automatically to your dashboard once you are logged in.

==My courses==
Once you are enrolled in courses you will see them on your My courses page:

[[File:newmycourses.png|600px|Example of My courses page]]

You can filter which courses you see by clicking the first arrow/field:

{{About Moodle}}

So you've got a new Moodle account? What now? This page will help you navigate around your site as a student or teacher. Note that this guide is quite generic: your Moodle site might look different.
The video [https://youtu.be/2_MRiaZ3LXQ?si=Vw_EZzSOG5FDaXFa Finding your way around] might be useful to you.

==Your profile==

You can access your profile from the user menu top right. Click the arrow to open up the menu:

[[File:UserMenu.png|300px]]

Clicking the Profile link will then display other options, such as a list of your courses, any forum and blog entries and a link to edit your profile. Depending on the administrator's settings, you may also see a QR code to help you connect to the Moodle app and a Privacy and Policies setting where you can request an export of your data, ask for your account to be deleted or view the policies and agreements.

[[File:PrivacyPoliciesMoodleApp.png|600px|Privacy and policies and Moodle app blocks on user profile.]]

Clicking the Edit profile link will allow you to change certain information such as your timezone, add an avatar, description and, optionally, extra contact details. You cannot normally change your username and your admin might have restricted other changes too.

When you upload an image, it will appear in the user menu by your name.

==Your notifications and messages==

Your site can alert you when you have new messages from your teacher and other participants. If your teacher has enabled group messaging you will receive daily digests of group messages as well.

You can receive these alerts via email or from the message drawer on the site (accessed by clicking the speech bubble icon (1 in the screenshot) top right). From the messaging drawer you can also send yourself private reminders.

[[File:usermessaging12.png|300px|Message drawer showing three message types]]

You can control how you receive messages from ''Preferences > Message preferences'' in the user menu or by clicking the cog from the message drawer (2) in the screenshot above. The documentation [[Messaging]] gives more detail.

You can receive notifications about new forum posts or graded assignments and more. If your Moodle admin has set the site up for the mobile app, you can also receive alerts on your mobile phone. You can customise your notifications from Preferences > Notification preferences or by clicking the cog from the Notifications icon top right.

[[File:notificationpreferences.png|400px|Accessing notification preferences]]

How you find courses depends on how the administrator has set up the site. You might see three links: Home, Dashboard, Courses:

[[File:homedashboardcourses.png|Home, Dashboard, Courses]]

'''Home''' - Some sites display all their courses on the front page and students click to enrol themselves into a course. When you are logged in, some home pages (site front pages) may display only the courses you are enrolled in (to avoid clutter and confusion).

'''Dashboard''' - This is your personal page which you can customise and view a timeline of any outstanding tasks. More information in the section below.

'''My courses''' - This is where you see courses you are enrolled in and can search and filter them. More information in the section below.

==Your dashboard==
Every user has their own dashboard which they can customise. The documentation on '''[[Dashboard]]''' gives further information.

Learning plans

{{Competencies}}
== Setting up a learning plan template ==

*Once a [[Competency frameworks|Competency framework]] has been set up, you can then create a learning plan template. A learning plan template defines a set of competencies which you can assign to a group of users. This is better than creating individual learning plans for many different students and means you only need update the template and the changes will appear for all students.
*Go to ''Site administration > Competencies > Learning plan templates.'' Any existing plans are displayed here, and you can click the button 'Add new learning plan template' to create a new one.

===Adding competencies to a learning plan template===

To add competencies to a template, click the learning plan's name (under the left-hand Name column) to go to the page where you can add, edit and remove competencies. It will also show which competencies are not assigned to any course.

Once you have added competencies to the template, you can assign it to individual students, or to an entire cohort of students as described below.

==Assigning learning plans to users or cohorts==
*Once a learning plan template has been created, it may be assigned to students individually or in bulk to a (pre-made) cohort.
*If you're not already there, navigate to Site administration > Competencies > Learning plan templates.
*On the row for the template you wish to assign, click the "Edit" icon. A dropdown menu will appear showing:
** Edit
** Duplicate
** Create learning plans
** Add cohorts to sync
** Delete
*'''To assign a learning plan to a cohort,''' click 'Add cohorts to sync'
{{Note|Moodle will only create 50 learning plans immediately. If you have a very large cohort, a scheduled task will create the learning plans. See MDL-52690.'''}}

[[File:learningplantemplatescohort.png|500px]]
*Search for and add your chosen cohort(s)

[[File:cohortlp2.png|400px]]
*A message will appear with the number of learning plans created.

[[File:cohortlp3.png|500px]]

*To assign a learning plan to an individual student, click 'Create learning plan'

[[File:learningplantemplatescohortindividual.png|500px]]

*Then search for and select the student(s) you wish to make the learning plans for:

[[File:createlearningplansindividual.png|400px]]

==Removing learners and learning plans==

If you have assigned your learning plans via cohort it is important to note that simply removing the cohort will not remove the plan from those learners. You are able to remove the plans individually (i.e. via their profile) or delete the entire learning plan which will remove the plan for all users.

== Viewing learning plans ==

Anyone can see their own learning plans from their profile page, accessed from the user menu:

[[File:studentlearningplanaccess.png|thumb|600px|center|Learning plans in profile]]
When a student clicks the link they see which plans have been applied to them:

[[File:studentlp2.png|thumb|600px|center|Student view of assigned learning plans]]
When a student clicks the name of a learning plan, they see the associated competencies. They can see their progress towards completion and also click 'Edit' to request a review of any competency:

[[File:lp3.png|thumb|600px|center|List of competencies and requesting a review]]

*Some users (e.g. supervisors) with the [[Capabilities/moodle/competency:planview|capability to view all learning plans]] in the user context will be able to see the learning plans of other users.
*Users with the [[Capabilities/moodle/competency:planviewowndraft|capability to view their own draft learning plans]] have the ability to create a draft learning plan for themselves. A draft learning plan can be sent for approval to create an active learning plan from the draft. Note that this capability is not set for any of the default roles.
*Users with the [[Capabilities/moodle/competency:planmanagedraft|capability to manage draft learning plans]] can approve a draft learning plan.

== Evidence of prior learning ==

Anyone with the [[Capabilities/moodle/competency:userevidencemanageown|capability to manage their own evidence]] can provide a list of evidence of prior learning. This can be used to demonstrate proficiency for one or more competencies.

To upload evidence of prior learning, access your own learning plans page from your profile and click on the "Evidence of prior learning" link (1) On the next page, click on the "Add new evidence" button (2) and provide as much detail about the evidence as possible (including files and urls to verify the evidence). Once the evidence is listed, you can link it to one or more competencies from any of your learning plans. Then you can request that someone reviews your competency to decide if the evidence is sufficient and rate the competency.

See the video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zzVgFcQToU CBE for admins] for more information on manually setting up '''competency frameworks''' and the video [https://youtu.be/N65LZ6MZ04c Competency frameworks] for information on importing a framework.
==Adding competency frameworks manually==
*Go to 'Competency frameworks' in Site administration to create competencies in the system, or access the same link from Category administration to add them from a category.
*Any existing frameworks are displayed here; you can click a button to create a new one or look in the [https://moodle.net/collection/Qx8jjvuH/competency-frameworks Competency frameworks repository] .
[[File:NewCompFrameworks.png|thumb|600px|left|Click the button to add a new framework or choose from repository]]
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
*The '''ID number''' should be very specific, especially if it is likely that you will have multiple versions of a competency framework on the site at the same time (e.g. when revising the framework each year).
*The '''Scale''' is the default scale used when rating a competency. An individual competency in a framework can have a different scale to the framework.
*Clicking '''Configure scales''' displays extra information about the scale for ratings. There should be a default value, which is assigned when the competency is completed by an automated rule - and the list of values that are deemed "proficient" need to be listed so that the student can see at a glance, which competencies have been achieved and which have not. For more information see [[Competencies FAQ]].
*From the '''Taxonomies''' drop downs, you can define the words used to describe competencies in the framework, depending on their depth in the tree.
Once you have created a competency framework, it will appear in the list of frameworks and you can add competencies to it.

==Importing competency frameworks==
*Existing frameworks in CSV format may be imported from 'Import competency framework' in Site administration. See the video [https://youtu.be/N65LZ6MZ04c Competency frameworks] for a demo.
*Moodle.net has a [https://moodle.net/mod/data/view.php?id=27 Competency frameworks repository] for sharing files. It can be accessed directly from 'Competency frameworks' in Site administration.
*If you are unsure how to set up your CSV file, download an existing framework to use as a model. Here is a basic explanation:
#"Parent ID number" - competencies are arranged in a tree. This field indicates which competency is the parent of the current row.
#"ID number" - a string that uniquely identifies this competency in this framework
#"Short name" - a short name for the competency
#"Description" - a longer description for the competency
#"Description format" - a number representing the format of the text in the description. Valid options are: 0 = Moodle format, 1 = HTML, 2 = Plain text, 3 = Wiki format, 4 = Markdown
#"Scale values" - only required on the framework row. Defines a comma separated list of options used to grade the competencies
#"Scale configuration" - a json encoded object used to define the scale configuration. is a valid default
#"Related ID numbers" - a comma separated list of id numbers belonging to competencies related to the current row
#"Is framework" - must be 1 for a single row in the framework which defines the name and description of the entire framework
#"Taxonomy" - defined for the framework row, defines the lang string keys used to describe competencies at each level of the framework
Plugins are available for importing in other formats. [https://moodle.org/plugins/search.php?s=competency+framework&search=Search+plugins Search the Moodle plugins directory for competency framework] to find out what else is available.
===Adding competencies to a framework===
To add competencies to a framework, click on the framework name to go to the page where you can manage the competencies for this framework.
[[File:managing competencies.png|frame|center|400px|Managing competencies for the Mathematics framework]]
This page lets you build the tree of competencies that defines your competency framework. To start adding competencies, first click on a node in the tree (the topmost node in the tree will be the framework itself), then click on the "Add competency" button. (If you have changed the name in Taxonomies, the button will be named differently, such as "Add skill".)
*The '''ID number''' - this is required and must be unique within this competency framework. It is used to map competencies in backup and restore, as well as when migrating to a newer version of a competency framework.
*The '''Scale''' and items in "Configure scales" will default to the scale configured for the competency framework, but can be changed for an individual competency if required.
*Clicking Edit next to a competency once it has been created and selected displays other options, for example marking it as "related" to other competencies or creating an automatic completion rule. An automatic completion rule allows one competency to be completed automatically when all sub-competencies are complete.

===Setting a competency rule===
Competency rules can be added to any competency in a framework, as long as it has children. A competency rule can be used to automatically mark as complete a parent competency when all children of it are complete. Linking the child competencies to course activities combined with the competency rule 'Mark as complete when all children are complete' will award the parent competency to a student when he has successfully completed the course activities.
*A competency may be marked complete when other competencies are complete or have a certain number of points.
*To do this, click Edit next to the competency and choose ''Competency rule''
*Click in the box next to Outcome (''1'' below) and choose "Mark as complete" ''(2'' below.)

*From the new 'When' field, you can choose 'All children are complete' or 'Points required are met'. For 'Points required are met' you can then set the points and whether or not a competency is required:
