Plug-ins

Search and replace language strings

Make Moodle align with the language of your organization. With the Search and Replace Language Strings plug-in, you can easily replace terms in a language pack, for example, 'Learner' with 'Participant' or 'Student'. This way, you don't have to search for and adjust each language string individually.

As a site administrator, you manage the replacements in a central word list. For each replacement, you choose the original term, the desired replacement, and the language package. You also determine whether the replacement is case-sensitive. The plug-in only replaces whole words; singular and plural forms are added separately.

The changes are tracked so that you can revert to the default terms. An automatic maintenance task reapplies the replacements after updates to the language packs. This way, your own terminology is preserved.

The plug-in was developed by OpenEdu and is available for free as open source for use in your own Moodle environment.

Widget Hub

With the Widget Hub, you can quickly turn a Moodle course into a professional and visually appealing learning environment. The original plug-in was developed by WidgetHub and is maintained by Josep Mulet: https://moodle.org/plugins/tiny_widgethub.

OpenEdu has added about twenty extra widgets here. It is important to know that this is not a standalone plug-in. You first install the official Moodle plug-in Tiny WidgetHub and then add the extra widgets from OpenEdu. Additionally, OpenEdu has linked the Widget Hub to the OpenEdu theme. As a result, colors are automatically better aligned with the branding of the learning environment. Not only are the primary and secondary colors used, but additional theme colors can also be automatically applied.

With the Widget Hub plugin and the additional widgets from OpenEdu, you can transform a standard Moodle course into a modern, organized, and professionally looking learning environment.

Copyright plugin for Moodle

The Copyright plugin for Moodle helps educational institutions make long excerpts in courses more transparent.

The plugin collects information about source materials, such as PDFs, documents, and presentations. It can retrieve information about location, number of pages, images, and course context. The data can be made available for review and reporting through a secure Moodle web service. This way, the plugin assists institutions in complying with agreements regarding copyright-protected educational materials. Submissions from students and personal files are not included.

The development of this plugin is supported by InHolland University of Applied Sciences and Surf.

The plugin is available as open source.

Temp Account

With the Temp account plug-in, temporary accounts can be created in Moodle. This is especially useful within large organizations, for example for guest users, trial lessons, temporary participants, or external assessors who only need short-term access to a course or learning environment.

The plug-in fits well with open source educational environments where flexibility and efficient management are important.
