The "techproject" activity module provides a complete project driving tool, IEEE compliant, in a pedagogical environment, for real project use or for pedagogical approach of project management.
Description
CHANGE : We have spent time enough to use Moodle Plugin
Maintenance API to support automated plugin update chain from our
internal development workflow.
This "techproject" activity module is intended to give a complete project driving tool in a pedagogical environment, allowing to teach first principles of pragmatic project management to students through standard steps that are
- collecting needs as requirements,
- describing solution with specifications,
- and controlling development task within a milestone schedule
- for providing deliverables
- that will be reviewed and validated
Its goal is to fit moodle with a fully featured project management tool that could either be used to manage real projects, or drive student projects as a project based pedagogy.
Description entities are tree-shaped, thus improving continuous refinement method.
Techproject is "group" aware, and will allow each course group to form an independant team to drive his own worktrack.
