Course Life Cycle (moodle-tool_lifecycle)

This plugin provides a modular framework, similar to a workflow engine, which allows the to execute recurring tasks within moodle associated with courses.
Possible use cases are (not limited to):

• Deleting courses at end of life (including asking teachers for permission).


• Doing a rollover at the end of a semester.


• Automatically setting an end date for courses.

To be adaptable to the needs of different institutions the plugin provides two subplugin types:

Trigger: These subplugins control the conditions a course have to meet so that a specific process is started for it.

Step: These subplugins represent atomic, reusable tasks that should be executed for a specific course.

Requirements that are specific to your institution can be added through additional subplugins.
For more information please have a look at the wiki.
It provides instructions for administrators as well as for developers to implement own requirements into subplugins.

Installation

This is an admin plugin and should go into admin/tool/lifecycle.
Obtain this plugin from https://moodle.org/plugins/view/tool_lifecycle.

Moodle version

The plugin is continously tested with all moodle versions, which are security supported by the moodle headquarter.
Therefore, Travis uses the most current release to build a test instance and run the behat and unit tests on them.
In addition to all stable branches the version is also tested against the master branch to support early adopters.

The changes for every release are listed here: https://github.com/learnweb/moodle-tool_lifecycle/wiki/Change-log.

Course Life Cycle (moodle-tool_lifecycle)

This initial version of the plugin already brings everything you need to define your workflows and let them run on your platform. It comes with some predefined trigger and steps. The existing triggers and steps allow to specify a workflow for the deletion of courses either by age or because there is no teacher left in the course. A possible workflow will first inform the teachers of a course (if there are some left) that their courses are marked for deletion and asks if they still need them. If the teacher did not react, a backup of the course is created and afterwards the course is deleted.
The sketches workflow can be adjusted either by configuring the steps and triggers it consists of or by exchanging the steps and triggers themselves by anything you like.

The plugin was so far tested on a test system with production data. There are some issues left to fulfil until the plugin reaches maturity BETA.
