Diary

Diary is a very advanced version of the Journal plugin. The most notable addition is the capability to make multiple, separate, entries per day, and do so on multiple days. This allows students to revise their writing while retaining the original version. The addition of statistics with auto rating for any min/max combination of characters, words, sentences, or paragraphs also helps to track revision progress of a students writing. The activity can be set to use multiple, time released, writing prompts with each one having it's own auto-rating settings and auto-grading of required phrases, per prompt. With Diary, you can also use completions for, View, Receive a grade, and Receive a passing grade. New in this version is new prompt modes and Completion metrics!

Content Pages

The plugin for Moodle (Content pages), was designed so that from it, tutors, teachers and technicians can add content in courses, following usability and accessibility standards. This tool will be responsible for signaling the good practice of adding text, images, multimedia, among others. In it, the content will be distributed in pages, so that the monitoring of the content does not become something exhausting and tiring. The plugin also has a bookmark, so that the participant can be located, based on last page accessed. Furthermore each page allows for the inclusion of public or private notes, which allows the participant to give or ask for feedback on the content studied on the page and enjoy and reply to comments from other colleagues. In this version, the code has continued development of the capability to use the normal Moodle Question engine, which basically means that now you can use any question type you have installed on your site. Also, when using a, Background image, you can now change the title color to aid in readability of the page title. A major addition to this version is Branching Capability similar to the Lesson plugin, with the ability to navigate based on Previous/Next settings as well as correct or incorrect answers to some question types.
