This plugin is based on the official mod_diary Moodle plugin (v. 3.4.1) from AL Rachels (https://moodle.org/plugins/mod_diary) which itself is a fork of the mod_journal plugin (https://moodle.org/plugins/mod_journal). The mod_diary plugin code was widely rewritten in the making of this plugin.
The plugin also incorporates JavaScript Code from the Hypothesis project (https://github.com/hypothesis/client) which is released under the 2-Clause BSD License (https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause), sometimes referred to as the "Simplified BSD License".
It also uses JavaScript Code form the approx-string-match-js project (https://github.com/robertknight/approx-string-match-js) by Robert Knight wich is released under the MIT License (https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT).
In the Margic activity, participants can create unlimited entries which can then be evaluated and annotated by teachers.
Margics can be used in a meaningful way in language lessons, for example. Students can create entries to answer variable tasks, write their own texts and stories, or practice vocabulary.
Teachers can then view, correct and evaluate these entries on a customizable overview page. For this purpose, they can mark specific text passages and write annotations for them, whereby an error type and a short text can be stored for each annotation. The entire entry can also be graded and provided with textual or acoustic feedback. Participants then have the opportunity to revise their original entry and use the feedback received to improve it.
The available error types for the annotations can be flexibly adjusted. In an error summary, instructors can also evaluate for each participant how many and which errors they made in a Margic. Finally, it is also possible to export or print the entries in a Margic for further use.
Core features of the plugin:
- Write and revise multimedia entries.
