Moodle LMS is a perfect platform for creating online learning portals for various industries. It can be used for online learning in schools, colleges, universities, manufacturing industries, medical as well as other corporates. The users in the Moodle course can be enrolled once at a time before the course start which is generally the case for schools/colleges. But there may be times that you want the learners to enroll themselves as per their wish.
When the learners are enrolled in a Moodle course anytime there may be few activities which might not work correctly as the enrollment date is different for each learner. In this post we will see how you can release the course activities to all learners based on their enrollment date in course.
The Restriction by relative date Moodle plugin can be used to restrict content based on a relative date. You can use this plugin to make the course resource/activity available only for a certain time period for the learners.
The availability conditions set by using the Restriction by Relative date plugin are:
- before/after course start date
- before/after course end date
- after user enrolment date
- after enrolment method end date
- after the completion of an activity
You can download the Restriction by Relative date Moodle plugin from the official plugins repository here. Overall, it does a pretty wonderful job of releasing the course content based on the learners time in the course. It can be used to create the content dripping in your Moodle course automatically without your intervention.
