there is absolutely nothing in that list... Er - there should be a list of all the question types (here is a screenshot from 2.4 as I don't have an earlier version but if you don't see anything then we need to investigate further...)

1)Were you migrated directly from 1.9 to 2.2? There are warnings in the migration notes about the quiz question engine changing and to be aware of this - Upgrading to Moodle 2.1 - MoodleDocs 2) As mentioned on the Moodle,org forum, have you tried with a different theme to make sure it's not your theme? 3) Can you go to Site administration>Plugins>Question types>Manage question types and do a screenshot of the available question types -I will tell you if there are non-standard ones there that might be conflicting with your 2.2 install.

Ah Ok I will go and have a look in the Quiz forum to find your post

Have you also asked on the forums of Moodle.org?

Yes - but just to clarify - this is the main page for Moodle docs MoodleDocs

Have you tried asking on the forums of moodle.org?

If all the settings are correct the only other thing I can suggest is to look in the database and try changing mnethostid from 1 to 0 -there were issues a while back on moodle.org with people having a corrupted/duplicate guest account (but you'd have had other clues as well, such as "guest" appearing in the login box, which is why it might well not be that) But worth a try.

What message do you get when you get pinged back?

Well just to go through step by step: * presumably the front page isn't log in only (ie before they see anything?) *Have you gone through all this - Guest access - MoodleDocs

My understanding is that it is still wrong even if the VLE needs to be logged into. I recall a story years back on TES forums where a parent was watching their child on Moodle and they saw copyrighted materials on the course -and unfortunately for the school the parent knew the company director of those materials, reported the school and they got into trouble. I suspect you see a lot of such materials either because people simply don't know or because they think it's Ok behind closed doors - or because they bank on nobody reporting them. (Re Boardworks though, such companies do have licences allowing you to use their stuff on VLES but it's not by default)

I don't know the answer sorry as I don't have much experience of MRBS but if you post in the add ons forum of Moodle.org with a descriptive title then hopefully Davo Smith who now maintains this module might have a suggestion -forum is on this URL https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=44

SUMS.co.uk do SCORM packs of maths for KS2 which you can try out here (ironically on a Moodle site) SUMS Learning Also, Daydream education do some useful SCORM packs for younger children - my old school had them for Y7 and Y8 VLE Learning| VLE Education | VLE Content (and of course, I do have to say - why not get a hosted Moodle and you can add your own content to it? http://www.luns.net.uk/ do good value deal for primary schools, as well as other companies and Moodle partners.) There are also sites which connect to your VLE (like Moodle ) which offer good content -https://www.iamlearning.co.uk/

With the editing turned on you should have an "edit this category" button which will take you to the text editor to add text/images etc.

Depends on exactly what you mean by customising When turning the editing on you can add text, images, extra links etc and side blocks. You can have separate themes for categories if you enable that- what customisation did you have in mind?

I know this isn't what you want to hear as you're in the middle of setting up 2.4 but Moodler 2.5 (out the 14th) has completely revamped the fields and collapsed 90% of them so a teacher often just has to give it a name and description and they're ready to go - it is much much more user friendly for teachers.

If you are on 1.9 you might struggle to find a face to face administrator course but the book (1.9 version) of Moodle administration https://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=55&rid=1942 by Alex Büchner is a very useful manual to have to hand. And at the back of the book is a "Moodle healthcheck" which sounds very similar to your checklist.

Email is a required field and I think (although I am not familiar with LDAP) that Moodle is trying to tell you the email needs to be filled in. Even if it is a fake email.

Just replied to you on Moodle.org

If you yourself have administrator access you can backup your site - or individual courses (unless you have hundreds in which case it would take forever) and then restore to a test environment and then eventually into your newly hosted Moodle. The link to Moodle forums is great-there is also up to date documentation for each version of Moodle - for example Backup - MoodleDocs

Hi there. I sent you a PM with some suggestions.

Look forward to seeing the photos:D

I don't know of a bi-weekly course format but you could just create a topics format course and rename the topics to the weeks or bi-weekly format dates that you want? EDIT Apologies - just re-read your post and realised you might actually have been meaning how you code the course format rather than a workaround - sorry:)

Messaging has been overhauled in Moodle 2 and individual users have the option of receiving messages either as messages or going to their emails. See Messaging settings - MoodleDocs If you want to allow or prohibit certain message types then edit them in Settings > Site administration > Plugins > Message outputs > Default message outputs

Hi Gareth. Here is some documentation on using groups Grouping users - MoodleDocs Basically you have several choices if you haven't got or can't get an MIS set up * put your students in a csv file and use the field course1 , group1 , course2, group2 etc - where course1, course2 are the shortnames of the courses you want to put them in and group1, group2 are any sets you want to put them in. Moodle will make the groups automatically when you upload the csv file. Upload users - MoodleDocs *make empty groups in a course with a group enrolment key -give the classes their group enrolment key and get them to enrol themselves. See group enrolment key here Enrolment key - MoodleDocs *create cohorts - upload individual sets as cohorts. Then go to your course settings and auto-creategroups of the cohorts - See Cohorts - MoodleDocs and also Groups - MoodleDocs To be honest, we use the first version - csv file- and it doesn't take that long. Our network manager gets the pupils in their sets off SIMS and adds the other fields and is ready to go. It works even if the pupils are already on the system.

..and I just retweeted you
