ABOUT ============= Moodle is an open-source e-Learning Content Management System that helps build online courses. This project involves development of some custom plugins, like: 1. Announcement Plugin (in mod/announcementplugin folder) It helps in posting of announcements by site administrator or the course faculty for the recepients to see. 2. News Plugin (in mod/newsplugin folder) It helps in posting of news by site administrator or the course faculty for the recepients to see. 3. Subject Plugin (in mod/subjectplugin folder) Allows creation of different subjects, inside Moodle courses for maintaining proper hierarchy of topics. QUICK INSTALL ============= Here is a basic outline of the installation process, which normally takes me only a few minutes: 1) Move the Moodle files into your web directory. 2) Create a single database for Moodle to store all it's tables in (or choose an existing database). 3) Visit your Moodle site with a browser, you should be taken to the install.php script, which will lead you through creating a config.php file and then setting up Moodle, creating an admin account etc. 4) Set up a cron task to call the file admin/cron.php every five minutes or so.
