Moodle 2 Plugin Reviews

Plugin Usage



 What plugins do you use?


 What if any was the process for deciding to use them?
Review Overview


 Is it simple to install?
 Is there documentation for it?
 Does it do what it promises?
 Is it easy for the teacher/admin to use?
 Is it easy for the learner/student to use?
Non Technical


The important technical questions that I do not ask in my
reviews include:
 Is it well coded and secure?
 Will it impact on server performance?
 Does it backup/restore properly?


However, these and others should be considered before use
in production.

 1 for feature set / general
 1 for ease of install
 1 for ease of use teacher
 1 for ease of use Student
