Subcourse

Maintained by Dan Marsden, Catalyst IT
Subcourse behaves as a graded activity. The grade for each student is automatically fetched from a final grade in another course. This allows course designers to organize the learning content into separate units.

I am using this plugin to create a certificate program that is a collection of courses.
I would like to make it such that some courses are mandatory and some courses are optional, with the learner required to take a certain number of optional courses.
For example: a learner must take four mandatory courses (I can implement this) and also take four of seven optional courses (I don't know how to implement this).
Is this possible? Thx

@Fabian - the latest versions of our plugins will always be in github, however we don't always remember to update the plugins db entry - I've just updated the plugins db now with the latest versions, but in future please check the version available in the github repo - thanks! smile

Hy, I really like the plugin but we're unfortunately on Moodle 4.2. Are there any Upgrading plans?

@Dan - it works an absolute charm, thank you!
Dan Marsden
@Carel-Piet, try the version in github and report any issues you have to the tracker. Thanks!

This is going to be a gamechanger for us once it is available for Moodle 4.2 - really looking forward to seeing it!

Many thanks and good luck to Dan Marsden for taking over the maintenance of this plugin!

Will this be updated for Moodle 4.2 or has it been taken into Core?
Mary Blue
Dear David, could you tell me, when you will update the plugin to 4.1?
We would love to use it, but our Moodle is already on 4.1.4.

Good day David.
Tell me please, is there a detailed instruction on setting up the subcourse?
I installed to version 3.11 but subcourse grades are not imported into the main course.

Hello Gerard. Can you please report this as a new issue in the Subcourse tracker at Github and provide exact steps to reproduce? Also, if possible, please turn developer debugging on and report all the stack messages. TIA

Hi there. I have 15 sub-courses running and all are connected to a certificate to indicating the results of different courses. But, I get a "Error writing to database. More information about this error" error. I don't know if the problem is with mysql or something else.
Please help

Hi, Can it offer support for Moodle version 4.1.x?

Hi Annie. You can always make such a link manually (e.g. via a Label or a HTML block). Thing is, there are scenarios where one course may be a referenced course of multiple Subcourse instances (in other words, two Subcourses in two different courses both linking to the same referenced course).

Hi, I really like the subcourse plugin. But I miss a function analogous to the one in settings >link to subcourse activity>redirect to referenced course. Is it possible to additionally include a function/button that redirects from the referenced course back to the main course? Does the option already exist and if so am I overlooking it. If no, is there an option to add a back to main course button/link ?
Thanks for any feedback
