THIS IS AN MUA PROJECT PROPOSAL THAT WILL BE OR HAS BEEN SUBMITTED FOR POSSIBLE MUA FUNDING.  ANY EXISTING TRACKER ITEMS THAT THIS MIGHT DUPLICATE SHOULD BE LINKED TO BELOW.  

Overview

In the July - December 2019 MUA project cycle, a new “Download all” feature was selected for development. This development will include building a new API to handle this function, and building this feature into some of the core activities. The API allows for more core activities to provide this feature. This proposal is to add the “Download all” feature to more of the Moodle core activities.

For this proposal, add the “Download all” feature to the following Moodle activities:

• Book
• Glossary
• Database
• Wiki
• Forum
• Lesson
• Workshop

These activities are listed in roughly the priority of importance. The proposal can add or remove activities to fit budgets and schedules, by agreement of the stakeholders. It would also be good to document the process of adding new activities after the fact, so that community developers can see how to add these features to their plugins.

Summary:

• Project size: small to medium
• Audience: all audiences
• Target users: students, teachers.

Goals:

• Provide more activities with the new download feature.
• Provide incentives for community contributions to this feature.
