AI placements

AI Resource Guide is a placement plugin for Moodle's AI subsystem. It adds a "Find References" button to Page activities that helps students discover relevant external learning resources.

When a student clicks the button, the plugin sends the page content to the site's configured AI provider, which identifies 3-5 key concepts. For each concept, the plugin generates real search links to external platforms like Google Scholar, YouTube, Wikipedia, DevDocs, Google Books, and Google News.

Features:

  • Works with any AI provider configured in Moodle (OpenAI, Azure AI, Ollama, etc.)
  • Configurable reference sources — admins choose which platforms are available
  • Results cached for 24 hours to minimize API costs
  • No AI-hallucinated URLs — all links are real search engine URLs built from extracted concepts
  • AI policy compliance built in — students must accept the policy before first use
  • GDPR compliant — no personal data stored

Requirements:

  • Moodle 4.5 
  • At least one AI provider configured with the generate_text action enabled
