One thought on “Moodle LMS Plugins: Step-by-Step Guide to Installation and Activation

  • Great overview of using plugins in Moodle !
    I would just add, that when looking at a plugin to use, as well as the functionality and version compatibility, you MUST look at the release cycle, and developer. There is nothing worse that installing a plugin, building your site / course operation around this, to find that when you want to upgrade Moodle you can’t – because that plugin is no longer maintained 🙁
    I’ve seen some Universities and other large Moodle installations becoming years out of date because they adopted a plugin that didn’t;t then get upgraded.
    And this biggest impact with staying on an old and compatible version of Moodle means missing out on all the new features of Moodle core.
