The study plan plugin extends Moodle with the ability to describe a curriculum of many courses in a graphical way, organized in layers and periods.
Once a curriculum or "study plan" is made, and students or cohorts of students are linked to the study plan, teachers and students can quickly get an overview of their curriculum and students results therein.
By showing students an easy to read graphical overview of their progress over multiple courses, students are more in control of their own learning process than by just listing results alone.
This plugin is currently successfully used by a number of educational institutes in the Netherlands to provide students with an easy to read overview of their progress within a curriculum
Some features:
- Students can share a live view of their study plans (including results) with parents or external coaches
