Moodle LMS allows you to extend new features by using Moodle plugins. There are close to 2100 official plugins in the Moodle plugins directory. You can add course formats, themes, activities, blocks, authentication methods to extend Moodle’s features. In this post, I will share my views about the HTML5 Canvas Sketch Game plugin.
The HTML5 Canvas Sketch Game plugin is a simple Moodle activity plugin which allows you to add a canvas to your course. The students can create their own sketches in the Canvas area. It can be quite handy for elementary school teachers who can use it to let students showcase their creativity using the sketch.
The Canvas is pretty simple to use and takes no time to get started. It comes with clear button and toolbar with the following features:
- Saving sketch
- Restore sketch
- Add toolbar images
- Set background image
- Student upload own image
- Delete sketch
- GDPR provider
- Backup / restore integrated
- Mustache templates
Canvas Sketch plugin
During my test with the Canvas Sketch plugin, I really like the capability to save the sketches and download it as PNG image file. You can also upload your own image to create your own sketch, which can help the students to start with their own concept instead of starting from scratch.
As a teacher you can also upload a background image which can be used as a sketch competition among students. It also comes with a handy color picker which allows you to choose your own color.
You can download the HTML5 Canvas Sketch Game plugin from the official Moodle plugins directory here. If you are new to Moodle, please follow this guide to learn how to install a Moodle plugin.
