Moodle Teachers – Make Learning Programs easily with the Subcourse Plugin

Moodle is worlds most popular learning management system with more than 400 million users around the world. The ease of use, simplicity and extensibility options make it the preferred LMS across the globe. In this post we will see how you can use the Subcourse Moodle plugin to create Learning Programs easily.

The Subcourse Moodle plugin let’s you include the final grade of a course as an activity for another course in Moodle. The activity pulls the final grades from the linked courses and adds them to your main course’s grade. Doing this essentially creates a meta course that acts like a learning program.

Once they got a certain grade in one course you can unlock other course for them automatically. In addition you will get all grades aggregated in a single place.

You can download the Subcourse Moodle plugin from the official Plugins repository here. According to the plugin description:

• Grades are fetched automatically or can be fetched manually any time.
• The grade type and other grade item settings are copied from the original grade total item and can not be changed.
• Subcourse can be automatically marked as a completed when the referenced course is completed.
• If the final grade in the referenced course is hidden, the associated subcourse activity grade is hidden, too.
