Plenary meeting

The Plenary meeting activity module organizes online and in person
meetings following traditional rules of parliamentary procedure. It may
be used as a tool to teach skills to conduct a meeting or to structure
and administer faculty, staff, student or other organizational meetings.

Users are granted the privileges to speak, make motions, vote or chair
meetings through Moodle capabilities and roles. The activity maintains
a record of motions to provide meeting minutes. User actions are logged
in Moodle log system.

The activity can be used with an in person event or as an online
event. It has an integration with Deft response block to allow audio and
video to be shared based on whether the user is recognized to speak in
the activity. Other web conference or media servers also can be used as
long as users can be managed by them manually. A minimal integration is
provided for Jitsi meet.

Installing via uploaded ZIP file

Upload the ZIP file with the plugin code and ZIP file for block Deft
response. You should only be prompted to add
extra details if your plugin type is not automatically detected.

Check the plugin validation report and finish the installation.

Installing manually

The plugin can be also installed by putting the contents of this
directory to

{your/moodle/dirroot}/mod/plenum

and place code for block Deft response in

{your/moodle/dirroot}/blocks/deft

Afterwards, log in to your Moodle site as an admin and 1. go to Site
administration > Notifications to complete the installation. 2. Adjust
subplugin settings to accommodate variations in parliamentary procedure.
3. Install Block deft response or other conferencing integration
dependency for online meeting support.

Dependencies

The Deft response block is required as a dependency to install. The
basic functions for the plugin will work without any external
dependencies. However, the video conferencing options require external
services to work.

The Deft video meeting form requires that Deft response block is
configured to work with the service from deftly.us. See Deft response
block documentation for more information. A free account can be created
at deftly.us to obtain a sample course there with this plugin configured.

The Jitsi Meet meeting form requires access to a Jitsi Meet server that is
secured. One can choose a Jitsi hosting provider or install a local copy
of Jitsi meet. Configuration is compatible with the Jitsi activity module.
