Documentation

Apologies for the rudimentary documentation. This has been hacked together based on experience running a rogue moodle server as joint teacher and developer. Some things will have to be done differently when a production system is set up for wider use.

• User documentation:
  • Add an activity to a Moodle course
• Developer documentation (Release Policy)

Moodle Activities in other Learning Management Systems

At NTNU in Ålesund, we have used Moodle activities within the university’s official LMS, BlackBoard.
The advantage of this is that we can use BlackBoard’s user management. The students have everything in one place, and the teacher does not have to manage class lists. It is also possible to feed assessment results in moodle back into BlackBoard.

• Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI).
  1. Moodle as an LTI Tool provider.
  2. Moodle as an LTI Tool consumer.
• Add Moodle integration in Blackboard course
• Setup CAPQuiz for a Blackboard course

Moodle is a free and open-source learning management system (LMS) written in PHP and distributed under the GNU General Public License.
