Re: [Qtitools-discuss] R2Q2 problem with playr

[Jonathon H. <js...@ec...>]

Hi Steve

There is a distinct lack of documentation for the moodle plugin...  
Basically, you need to checkout the moodle-qtiplayr-plugin directory,  
and copy this directory to your moodle "mod" directory - I think you  
also need to rename it to "qtiplayr". Then in a browser, go to the  
moodle admin pages & it should auto install. There is a page in which  
you can set the url of the playr which the plugin should talk too,  
linked from the moodle module settings pages (this is standard for  
all moodle plugins, so is documented on the moodle site to some  
extent). To use the plugin, set-up or select a course, and then you  
should be able to select qtiplayr as an activity to add... The  
options for setting the activity are fairly self-explanatory :)

Let me know if you try this and run into any problems.
