Moodle 2.3+ Mahara moodle assignment plugin

Mahara Assignment Submission Plugin

This repository houses an updated Mahara assignment submission plugin.

Features

• XML-RPC integration with a Mahara installation
• Select portfolio
• If multiple submissions are allowed, it releases the previously selected submission
• Abides by Moodle assignments config options
• Popups for quickly previewing submissions (no windows... no tabs)

Requirements

• Moodle 2.3+
• PHP 5.4+
• Fully integrated Moodle -> Mahara instances
• Updated Mahara local plugin
• Mahara Feedback plugin (Optional, but reccommended)

Installation

Be sure that you have a version of Moodle that is equal or greater than 2.3. Also make sure you have successfully integrated your Moodle installation with a Mahara instance.

Mahara has detailed documenation on how to achieve that on their wiki. Once you have done that, you must install the updated Mahara local plugin on your Moodle installation. Then, install this plugin in one of two ways:

1. Download the source archive and extract its contents to the following location {Moodle_Root}/mod/assign/submission/mahara
2. Execute the following command:

> git clone [email protected]:fellowapeman/moodle-assign_mahara.git {Moodle_Root}/mod/assign/submission/mahara

The remainder of the install is taken care of by Moodle by clicking on Notifcations.

Feedback plugin

The only reason the feedback plugin exists is for properly releasing graded submissions and for Mahara outcomes. It's an optional install because it's technically not required for a fully functional Mahara assignment, but it's certainly reccommeded.
