PDA data to Moodle (Module) – No support
Description:
Using this classroom management application, teachers can collect data such as attendance and participation in their classroom using a PDA and submit the data to Moodle.
How to Use:
1. an HTML form for a teacher to enter data about their class.
2. When teacher submits the form, the script will copy all student
images from the course into the course ‘files’ folder as well as an XML file with student data to be read by the PDA. The images are resized as 88×88 pixel jpg files.
3. The teacher will then copy this XML file and images to their PDA and use in class.
4. When the teacher wants to save the data (XML file), they will send
the data via http. The XML data is sent from the PDA as a variable called:
‘$data’.
5. The XML data stored in a variable called: ‘$data’ is parsed by a PHP
script and saved to a new table in Moodle.
Installation:
1. Upgrade your Moodle installation to version 1.5.1 or later
(you are advised to install latest official stable 1.5.2+ branch)
2. Download xmldata.zip to your moodle/mod directory and unzip it there.
3. Go to http://your_moodle_site.com/admin – all necessary tables will be created.
