This project consists of four modules:

a) target setting activity
b) reporting activity (e.g. concerns, progress)
c) student info block
d) ilp overview block

You may choose to use any or all of these. The ILP overview pulls together information from the other three modules to create a reporting mechanism that can be customised to your needs.

Requirements


Moodle 1.8.x or later

If you have installed the modules prior to the ilp_ prefix being added (4th April 2008) please also read update. These changes were made to bring the modules more inline with standard CVS formats for Moodle and will require a transfer process.

Installation


The zip-archive uses the standard plug-in directory hierarchy.

Copy files to the corresponding location on your server.

ilp.zip/mod/ilptarget --> moodle/mod/ilptarget
ilp.zip/mod/ilpconcern --> moodle/mod/ilpconcern
ilp.zip/blocks/ilp_student_info --> moodle/blocks/ilp_student_info
ilp.zip/blocks/ilp --> moodle/blocks/ilp

To use the langfiles you have to copy the lang-folder to:

/moodle/lang/en_utf8

All languages should be encoded with utf8.

To customise and maintain local copies of the language files copy these to /sitedata/moodle/lang/en_utf8 and make sure they are writeable by Moodle.
See http://docs.moodle.org/en/Language

To use the icons you have to copy the pix to your theme pix location:

/moodle/pix/ (default)
/moodle/theme/mytheme/pix (theme pix)

Now run the admin-page of moodle (http://your-moodle-site/admin) in your browser or via Site Administration -> Notifications. The installation process will be displayed on the screen.

Configuration


Once you have installed your required modules you will need to configure the relevant displays. These are managed via the module settings for each module. Of particular note you will want to turn on at least one overview on to use the ILP report and you will need at least one text-entry area enabled in order to use the student info module.
