Tool for instructors to plan course activities and synchronize the data with syllabus, LMS, etc.

Moodle courses can be cloned and updated with new activity dates from a calendar. Why?

Quizzes (more to come) can be planned relative to Seminars and Practicas. Each activity adapts it's start and end dates with the calendar of specific dates.

<activity to plan> <start at activity> <end at activity>

Ex: Quiz 1 is opened on Seminar 1 and closed right before Practica 2 would be possible with this line: Q1 S1 P2

• Q1 stands for Quiz 1
• S1 stands for Seminar 1
• P2 stands for Practica 2

Adding F to an activity will read the finishing time of the activity. Adding nothing or S will read the start time.

Ex: Quiz 1 is opened right after Seminar 1 and closed right after Practica 1 would be Q1 S1F P1F

Amounts of time can be subtracted or added to activities.

Supports + or - combined with

• minutes: m
• hours: h
• days: d
• weeks: w

Ex: 1 hour after Seminar 1 would be S1+1h.

Ex: 15 minutes before Practica 2 would be P2-15m.

Ex: Quiz 1 is opened 1 hour after Seminar 1 and closed 15 minutes before Practica 2 would be Q1 S1+1h P2-15m

The exact hours can be set to an activity.

Ex: the day of Seminar 1 at 23:55 would be S1@23:55.

This can be used along with relative date or time modifiers.

Ex: the day before Seminar 1 at 23:55 would be S1-1d@23:55.

Please Note when used with a relative modifier, the time modifier must be last.

S1-1d@23:55 is valid

S1@23:55-1d is invalid
