I hope to take a further crack at this prior to Tulane. I might need some help generating test data. I’m already looking at the flatfile import and wrote some vaguely usable code at Hampshire.

I'd love to see it in Moodle 2 as well. If I recall correctly, Sarah Ryder was looking at the Filtered Course Block at Hampshire, but I’m not positive. I’d love to see it in Moodle 2 as well.

I'd love to have us update the Filtered Course List block for Moodle 2, find an existing block that replaces it, or improve the existing Navigation block. Minor thing: When creating resources, the description field is now required. We should make it non-required. We should check all of the CLAMP-supported blocks and modules to see which have been updated for Moodle 2 (and test them), which we'll need to replace with alternatives, and which we can update ourselves. (I know 3 of them are listed above, but I think there are a few more on our master spreadsheet). BULK COURSE CREATION FROM FLATFILE, please please please! This is something many of us rely on. I'm flabbergasted that it's still not built into Moodle. There are several versions of this floating around the internet for Moodle 2; we should find, test, and evaluate them. I'd love to come out of this with polished documentation for the new navigation, file management, and enrollments. The Navigation block in Moodle 2 isn’t, in my opinion, very user-friendly.

]]> Comment on Moodle Roles Explained by rcollman http://www.clamp-it.org/2010/01/moodle-roles-explained/comment-page-1/#comment-32809 rcollman Tue, 20 Sep 2011 20:32:25 +0000 http://www.clamp-it.org/?p=604#comment-32809 It is important to remember that in some upgrade processes, the standard Moodle roles may roll back to the default permission set. Where the new roles will not be impacted, excpet for new cabilities that have been added, which should assume the Archtype permissions for the new cabilities. This is similar to the best practice of not editing a standard theme. The best practice is to make a copy with a new name and tweak that.
