Moodle Task list enhances MyMoodle Page
Today I created a Moodle Task List (MTL) which further enhances the custom MyMoodle page.
The Moodle Task List works by checking a series of database queries to see whether or not a student (or staff member) has completed a certain activity or visited a certain page.
The queries are modular and extra queries can easily be "bolted" on to the list.
This task list will work great for our inductions at the start of the new term. The list will prompt the student to do the following:
- Update their profile picture
- Create a blog entry
- Complete a survey
- View the Moodle induction course
- View the Library area
- and much more...
When the student has completed the task then it is removed from the list!
During the term we can add more tasks as and when we need them. These can include assignments, forum posts and basically any element from within Moodle or other college systems, even things like password expiry reminders and printer credits remaining!

Hi Lewis,
This would be an invaluable addition to Moodle for educational institutions. It will definitely help make the students more efficient in their begging states of Moodle usage. I would really appreciate it if you could share the code with us in the spirit of open-source.
Thank you.

Hi Lewis,
Your enhancements for moodle are brilliant and these My Moodle tweaks are no exception. As a young noob moodle coder, I was wondering if there is anywhere that you are sharing your enhancements? I've searched for these in the moodle forums and cant find the code snippets anywhere.
I realise that these enhancements are hard coded and not modularised, but in the spirit of open source, it would be great to see what you are doing under the bonnet.
Cheers
Brett
