Moodle and Web 2.0

Enables editing teachers to add activities and resources above the activity below the cursor

This plugin is an extension to the Moodle course editing functionality. It enables editing teachers to add activities and resources above the activity the cursor is hovering over.

At the present time, these resources are hardcoded in lib.php -- only the File and URL resources can be added. This may change with the addition of an administration interface in the near future.

This block adds text to speech functionality to Moodle

It can be configured to use either the Google speech engine or the Microsoft speech engine. When added to a resource such as a page, it reads the contents.

There is also a lexicon to add pronunciations for words that it pronounces improperly. For example, it could possibly say I.V. for the text IV. It should, however, say 4. You could add in the lexicon IV = four and it willpronounce it properly.

This course format displays a course in a calendar format.

The functionalities are:

- Hide/Display weekends,

- Display by week (With previous/next week buttons),

- Display by month (With previous/next month buttons)

- The current day is highlighted

A rich media is defined here as a video content synchronized with your courseware (slides, pictures, tables, etc.). With this module, two versions of a rich media player are given: a full-featured flash version and a simplified html5 version. Another tool is also provided to ease the synchronization of your courseware with the main video.

To create a Rich Media activity, you have to :

- Upload your video (mp4, flv or ogv format)

- Upload an archive of your "slides" repository

- Upload or create your synchronization file (xml)

With this plugin you can quickly enroll users to many courses.

- Add the Quick enrollment block to Moodle
- Click enroll users
- Choose a user and some courses
- Choose a role
-Choose enrol period
- Click "OK" to enroll the user to courses

Julian Ridden updated the Essential theme earlier this month for users of Moodle 2.6. New features of the amazing theme (aside from a webpage oriented front page, user specific profile navigation in the menu, Google Analytics tracking, and full responsiveness) include improved course category management and the ability to set and theme colors as the end user.

Media collection is an activity that enables users to create galleries (of image/audio/video). The galleries themselves have many display options the user can choose such as displaying in a grid or carousel, and defining the number of items to show per row/column and such.

Each item can have metadata supplied (title, publisher, medium, production date, etc).

When viewing a gallery, selecting an item brings up a lightbox interface that allows the user to view a larger version of the item along with the metadata. Social options are also visible in the lightbox interface (liking & commenting).

An interchangeable topic or week (day for 2.3.1+) based format that solves the issue of the 'Scroll of Death' when a course has many topics / weeks. All sections except zero have a toggle that displays that section. One or more sections can be displayed at any given time. Toggles are persistent on a per browser session per course basis but can be made to persist longer by a small code change. Full installation instructions, code adaptions and credits are included in the 'Readme.md' file.

If you have a course with more than fifty two sections then currently the toggle persistence will not work for the fifty third section and above.  Then you need to upgrade to the Moodle 2.5 version+.

This module allows you to schedule, host, and attend WebEx meetings from within Moodle. You can manage and view recordings for the meetings from with Moodle as well.

Features
The WebEx Meeting activity allows Moodle to seamlessly integrate with WebEx.

- Seamlessly creates users for meeting hosts.

- Schedule meetings simply by adding the activity.

- Host or join meeting from within Moodle.

- Hosts can view a sharable link for non-Moodle users to join the meeting.

- Recordings are automatically associated with the activity, allowing students (or teachers) to go back and view past sessions from within the activity.

- Ability to hide, rename, or delete recordings from an activity.

- Admins can use the module to help manage all recordings in WebEx.

These Auto Attendance block and module are modification of the Attendance block/module of Mr. Dmitry Pupinin (v1.0.8, 2007).

In addition to the manual attendance mode to take attendance manually the original, automatic attendance mode (from the access log of Moodle) and semi-automatic attendance mode (user clicks a link) are also possible.

It is strongly recommended a combination of Auto Attendance block (autoattend) and Auto Attendance module (autoattendmod).
