What this plugin does

• Create and manage curricula (programs).


• Add external courses (name/code/term/sort order) to each curriculum.


• Map each external course to one or more Moodle courses.


• Provide automatic mapping suggestions using course name/shortname matching.


• Show student progress by:
  
  
  
  • completion percentage
  
  
  • enrollment percentage
  
  
  
  


• Allow students to mark external courses as completed (when permitted).


• Import curricula/courses from file.

Import format

The import page uses the structured text format.

Structured text import

Simple rules:

• Programs are separated by one or more blank lines.


• Each program starts with a program line: Program Name - PROGRAM_CODE.


• Terms are defined by term lines (for example 1, 2, 3).


• Course lines use COURSE_CODE - Course Name.

Example:

Computer Science - CS-BSC

1

CS101 - Programming Fundamentals

CS102 - Discrete Mathematics

2

CS201 - Data Structures



Information Systems - IS-BSC

1

IS101 - Intro to Information Systems

Notes

• If a curriculum with the same external code already exists, it is skipped during import.


• If a course code already exists inside the same curriculum, duplicate entries are ignored.


• moodle_course_id can be empty if you want to import curricula/courses first and map later.
