Version 1.21 is reviewed here:
https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-7331

Sources

This is modified from Moodle HQ's moodle-mod_newmodule and Justin Hunt's Pairwork activity module for Moodle.

Brief description

This is hopefully a good basis for a simple lesson module that has basic features as follows:

1. Supports adding basic question types from the question bank


2. Consists of multimedia pages with simple hyperlinked navigation


3. Summary lesson attempt reports for students and teacher's


4. Grades to gradebook, essay questions require manual grading


5. Implements GDPR privacy requests for reporting and deletion of user data


6. Designed for Moodle 3.5

For more complex needs (timing, access restrictions, use the Lesson activity module)
For summative activities and a wider range of question types use the quiz or lesson.

Version 1.26 MAJOR change

A clean upgrade from 1.25 is recommended, especially on larger sites with many questions. Some indexed fields have been upgraded in size. This requires uninstalling 1.25 first. Backed up copies of the plugin activities will be restored correctly.
