Pulse now published on moodle.org

We recently published the first public release of a new plug-in called Pulse (mod_pulse), and it has been officially approved today!

The Pulse activity enables teachers to improve student engagement and compliance.

Example uses for this plugin could include:

• Notifying students about new content that is available to them (drip feed)
• Reminding students about activities (opens in a new tab) that are due
• Sending personalized welcome messages for groups
• Implementing approval workflows for teachers and parents, respectively line managers and employees
• Building complex course workflows with alternatives, e.g. for multilingual contents (those who struggled with course completion for multilingual contents, where users can choose, will know what I’m talking about)
• Giving teachers a simple way to decide when a student can proceed with the course
• Creating disclaimers in a course
• … and many more

You can get the plugin at: https://moodle.org/plugins/mod_pulse (opens in a new tab). 

If you just want to try it out, head over to our test site: https://labs.bdecent.de/ (opens in a new tab). 

Our plugin roadmap can be found here: https://wp.bdecent.io/pulse/roadmap/ (opens in a new tab).

There’s a paid pro version (opens in a new tab), which adds powerful features:

• Reminders (First, second, recurring)
• Reactions (in-email reactions, secured via tokens)
• Reports

Feel free to post questions and suggestions below, or — as usual — to the bug tracker (opens in a new tab).
