This plugin will provide a interface to display and download all files by enrolled users, those are attached in a course.
This is local plugin, it means this plugin needs to install at local directory. Either installation can be done using Administration or one can directly unzip this into local directory of moodle.
This was written 5 years back. This was designed for moodle 2.7
this will by pass permission for the files and will list all the files of that course only for that course users.
Step-by-Step guide for migrating courses from the Blackboard standard version to moodle version > 1.9.
Black Board Categorisation :
For the purpose of course migration to Moodle, Blackboard can be categorised into 3 different systems, each with a different migration procedure.
CE 4.0/CE 4.1 (rebranded WebCT) [ can use the webctimport tool with the “IMS Content Migration Utility”]
Standard Blackboard (5.5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9.1)[ Follow the mentioned Process in this article]
Vista3/Vista4/Vista8 and CE 6/CE 8 (rebranded WebCT) [ backup files are encrypted so can not import that ]
“The following process tested on a standard blackboard 9.1 Q4 course export file and importing that into moodle 2.7 LTS after following below steps”
Objective :
Migrating courses from blackboard Standard 9.1 Q4 version to Moodle 2.7, via exporting from Blackboard and importing that into Moodle.
** The reason to say moodle version > 1.9 is , all the versions utilise the moodle2 process to import and before moodle 2.0 (i.e moodle 1.9 and before) the process was different. However “ > moodle 2.0” was supplied with an inbuilt converter, which supports but upto a limit and without any assurity.
Solution :
To achieve the target , you need to follow the below steps:
Now you have installed Python and pip and I assume that you have downloaded the conversion tool zip file. Let’s say you are under the directory /var/www/html and conversion tool is present at /var/www/html/retach.zip
Unzip that file , the directory reteach should be created.
Go inside that directory , location /var/www/html/retach
Setup.py file will be there
Run following command >>>pip install .
Package has been installed, you can cross check via typing reteach >>> reteach
If reteach is not found than please try python reteach and try after running following commandexport PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin
reatech
Step-2 :
You just need to run this command
>>> reteach bb-sample.zip -o moodle-file.zip
bb-sample.zip is then name of bb course zip file name . I assume that you are currently present under the directory where bb-sample.zip is present
moodle-file.zip will be converted zip file that will be used to import in moodle.
Step-3 : –
If you are utilising moodle > 1.9, Update the following code
Line number 1257 File: backup/converter/moodle1/handlerlib.php
// replay the upgrade step 2011060301 – Rename field defaultgrade on table question to defaultmark $data[‘defaultmark’] = $data[‘defaultgrade’];
// code to add for for blackboard course
$data['generalfeedbackformat'] = '1';
$data['createdby'] = '2'; // can be change
$data['modifiedby'] = '2'; // can be change
// END
And run the query:ALTER TABLE `mdl_qtype_match_subquestions` CHANGE `answertext` `answertext` TEXT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NULL DEFAULT NULL;
Step -4 :
Import that moodle-file.zip into Moodle setup , and you are done.
