Moodle 2.0
This is a SPECIFICATION for a feature in Moodle 2.0 that is still under development
Overview
We need a way to flag when a user has finished a course. :-)
Interface
This can be simply done by adding some small settings to the course settings page (perhaps on a tab).
Methods
Date
When a certain date has passed, the course can be considered completed for all users.
Unenrolment
When a user is unenrolled, the course can be considered completed for that user.
Grade
When the total course grade is above a certain value/percentage, the course can be considered completed. The value is set using the "passing grade" feature in the gradebook.
Activity done
When a particular activity is done (see Conditional_activities)
Manual
The teacher controls completion via a special page which is simply a list of all students enrolled in the course with checkboxes next to their name. I suppose this might be useful as something separate from the gradebook (and just manually putting in 100 or something for each student as an override grade). Also, the list of users should be sortable, searchable, and filterable (by group, groupings, and/or user profile fields).
Any combination of the above
These all need to be able to be combined using ORs. Not sure where best to store these.
Cron
There will need to be a cron job to check all these conditions and add/remove entries from the table as necessary. Can this be made very efficient?
Table
course_completion
This table records when a user has completed a whole course.
| Field | Type | Default | Info |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | int(10) | Auto incrementing | |
| userid | int(10) | The user who has completed the course | |
| courseid | int(10) | The course that has been completed | |
| timecompleted | int(10) | The time the user completed the course |
- I can see a bit more metadata being nice here. What about start date (or enrolment duration) and final grade?--Tim Hunt 04:00, 3 February 2009 (CST)
