Newbie using Moodle 1.9 and Articulate - 2 BIG questions :0)

Hi Steve,

#1 is easy.  Upload / ftp your content to the course files area.  Then create seven "link to file or web page" activities in your first topic (your course site can be in weekly or topic format--find this in course settings).  These seven activities will link to the player.html file for each presenter module.

#2 is more difficult.  In Moodle 1.9, you have access to groups and groupings.  Your course coordinators could be assigned the role of non-editing teacher in the course (Assign roles).  Going to groups, create seven groups (and groupings--very important) for the seven coordinators.  Align each grouping with the corresponding group (easy to do--you'll see). Once all of your students are enrolled in your course, you would need to add each student and coordinator to these groups.

Having said all of this, I'm not sure if groups and groupings limit the non-editing teachers' view of the gradebook and reports (activity logs) in the course.  Anyway, this should get you started on the right path. 

The alternative is to create seven course sites exactly the same (using backup and restore features) and assigning coordinators to individual courses as non-editing teachers, then enrolling students in corresponding courses (could use bulk uploads feature in Moodle and .csv spreadsheet depending on how many students you have).

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your response!

I've had to move to Moodle 2 as SCORM completion was buggy in v1.9 and v2 works.

With your groups and groupings suggestion will this stop the "course coordinators" from seeing the other group coordinators and students?

In my scenario I have 25,000 learners.  There are going to be dozens of company's taking part and each company needs their own "private" logon to create and manage their learners - they mustn't be able to see or change anything for the other students/company's on the system.

I can get most of this working except for stopping company admins looking at other students!!! Ahhh!

Thoughts?

Thanks for your help.

Steve.

Hey Steve,

I would run a test on a course site using 2-3 groups/groupings to verify that each cannot see the other's students reports or grades.

However, with such a large number of students, it may be best to go the seven course sites route I mentioned above.  This would, in effect, make the course site itself the "grouping" and ensure complete autonomy (just don't allow manual enrollments and go the bulk uploads route using a .csv spreadsheet).

Hope this helps,

Richard

2 is still a apin where completion is concerned out of the box it will only base completion % in reports  on the courses you have attempted you really need to mess around to get what you want
