Description of conditional activities in Moodle

Why do we need conditional activities?

Conditional activities have become necessary for the following reasons:

They are widely demanded in the user community
Their implementation is planned for version 2.0 of Moodle
They allow to customize the learning process
They facilitate curricular diversification

Some conditions combined to take a learning way - Photo by mikebaird on Flickr

These reasons led us at CICEI (Center for Innovation for the Information Society) in ULPGC (University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) to modify the code in Moodle to be able to respond to the different characteristics of students. Thus we presented the first version of them in the Conditional Activities forum in 2005.

Due to developments in the different versions of Moodle we have adapted that original version to the current 1.9.4
