Book Description

The new and revamped Moodle is the top choice for developers to create cutting edge e-learning apps that cater to different user's segments and are visually appealing as well.

This book explains how the Moodle 3.x platform provides a framework that allows developers to create a customized e-learning solution. It begins with an exploration of the different types of plugin..

We then continue with an investigation of creating new courses. You will create a custom plugin that pulls in resources from a third-party repository. Then you'll learn how users can be assigned to courses and granted the necessary permissions.

Furthermore, you will develop a custom user home. At the end of the book, we'll discuss the Web Services API to fully automate Moodle 3.x in real time.

  • Work with the different types of custom modules that can be written for Moodle 3.x
  • Understand how to author custom modules so they conform to the agreed Moodle 3.x development guidelines
  • Get familiar with the Moodle 3.x architecture-its internal and external APIs
  • Customize Moodle 3.x so it can integrate seamlessly with third-party applications of any kind
  • Build a new course format to specify the layout of a course
