How to identify graded participants in Moodle Course Activity Reports using Vlookup
- Having a chart of full names, Moodle id # and usernames would be useful (e.g. for debugging with the Activity Reports that in some cases do not resolve Moodle id# so Excel vlookup has to rescue the day once again…)
- The Moodle “Participants” affords the instructor a convenient list, with paging, sort, filter (by role), and different detail-level views.
- However, the overview does link course and student id #, but not institutional username while the detail view contain the username as part of the email, but is not truly tabular (consists of an array of tables, each containing one user; at least you can avoid the paging).
- Enter grepwin to extract the emails:
- and copy paste them into the Excel created from the tabular overview:

Nice Syntax highlighter tool from wisc.edu @ Madison
-
Wish my Latin teacher at home would have had such a nice tool when he analyzed the “Ante mare et terras et quod tegit omnia caelum / unus erat toto naturae vultus in orbe / quem dixere chaos”, he had only me:
- Now how could such exercise creation made more automated by having it accept the output of NLP tools like Treetagger?

Using WebParts syntax to navigate OWA?
When you train in OWA, you can take advantage of sending your students directly to certain interfaces of OWA, for doing specific hands-on tasks. If they are not alreay logged in, they seem to get redirected to the desired view in the end Working example:
https://mail.uncc.edu/owa/?cmd=contents&fpath=Calendar&view=Weekly&archivestub=1
Limitations seem to be in the browsers: IE> Firefox > Safari.
However, I could not find a way to send a user to a specific view of an OWA published calendar (seems to default always to monthly). Non-working eexamples:
bad request http://mail.uncc.edu/owa/calendar/LRCtutor11@uncc.edu/Calendar/calendar.html?view=Weekly 404 http://mail.uncc.edu/owa/calendar/LRCtutor11@uncc.edu/Calendar/Weekly/calendar.html#
See documentation here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232199.aspx
Can you use webbparts to save your users to have to change the view 
when they open up a calendar like http://mail.uncc.edu/owa/calendar/LRCRoomCOED434@uncc.edu/Calendar/calendar.html#, or another way to open this calendar not in its (monthly) default view?
