The document discusses a diagram tool called Course Sequencing that was created by Mark Melia to help visualize and define prerequisite relationships between courses in Moodle. The tool allows users to specify that a course can only be self-enrolled in once a prerequisite course is completed. This helps define course paths in a visual way rather than using confusing form-based interfaces. The document concludes by noting future work will focus on stabilizing the code and releasing it to the Moodle community. Feedback on additional ideas is also welcomed.

2. Course Sequencing in Moodle
 Activity completion in Moodle 2 is great
 Pre-requisites based on activity completion even
better
 Assumption is course pre-requisites work the
same way
 Course completion pre-requisite

5. Enrollment Plugin
 Specify pre-req on other courses
You can only self-enrol in a
given course when the pre-req
course is completed.

6. Pre-req conditions
allow for course
paths

7. Defining
course
paths is
confusing
and
tedious.
All form
based.

13. Future Work
 Stabilize the code
 Sanity check
 Release to the community
 Activity completion
 Learning paths – enrol learners into learning
paths
 Do you have ideas?
