#FAQ on Moodle integration for teachers

Why are the drop down menus for MUMIE servers, MUMIE courses and MUMIE exercises empty?

Before you can add any MUMIE task, you need to add a valid MUMIE server. Check the section How to add a new MUMIE Task to a course for reference.

• Why are not all grades up-to-date?

  Currently, grades for the MUMIE Tasks are only updated when they are displayed in the Moodle gradebook (e.g. the course's grader report is viewed or the student opens his own gradebook).

• I fixed an error in one of my problems in the pool after the deadline of my task. Will the grades of my students be updated according to the new version?

  Whenever, the synchronisation is triggered (see previous question), a new correction of the problem is done if the problem changed in the meantime.

• Why is the automatic completion status of a MUMIE Task not updated?

  The automatic completion status depends on the MUMIE Task's grade. Please read Why are not all grades up-to-date? for more information.

• Why is there no button to add MUMIE servers?

  If there is no button, the administrator has disabled this option.

• Why is Max Grade always displayed as 100 in the gradebook setup even though it was set it to another value?

  This is an old bug. It was patched in MUMIE Task v1.3.5. We decided not to fix this automatically for older MUMIE Tasks because it could potentially interfere with gradebook consistency. If you want your older MUMIE Tasks to display the correct max grade, all you need to do is open your MUMIE Task, make sure that the max grade is set to the desired value and click save.

• Why are calendar entries for due date not translated?

  Due to technical limitations by moodle, calendar entries will always be created in the language of the teacher who set the due date. Unfortunately, we cannot display other translations.

#FAQ on Moodle integration for adminstrators

• Can MUMIE Tasks still be used if the respective MUMIE server configuration has been deleted in the plugin settings?

  Yes! But no one will be able to make any changes to the following fields until a new configuration is added for the url prefix that was used to create the activity:

  • MUMIE server
  • MUMIE course
  • MUMIE exercise
  • Language

• Are MUMIE servers saved during backup of Moodle courses?

  Whenever a backup is performed for a Moodle course containing a MUMIE Task, the MUMIE server, that has been used in that activity, is also saved in the backup file. When the MUMIE Task gets restored, the plugin will check if there are any other servers with the same name or url prefix. If none are found, the MUMIE server will be restored as well.

• Why are not all grades up-to-date?

  Currently, grades for the MUMIE Tasks are only updated when they are displayed in the Moodle gradebook (e.g. the course's grader report is viewed or the student opens his own gradebook).

• Why is the automatic completion status of a MUMIE Task not updated?

  The automatic completion status depends on the MUMIE Task's grade. Please read Why are not all grades up-to-date? for more information.

• Why are students are not automatically logged out of MUMIE servers, when they log out of Moodle?

  This is most likely because MUMIE Single Sign On was not enabled in Site administration. Check installation steps 6+7 for reference.

• I don't want teachers to be able to add new MUMIE servers. How can I disable the button in the MUMIE Task form?

  Just remove the capability mumie:addServer for teachers. The Add Server button will also disappear in the MUMIE Task form

• MUMIE Task doesn't work with Safari. Is there anything I can do about that?

  This means that you probably need to update mod_mumie to at least version v1.3.4. Due to technical restrictions, embedded tasks don't work with Safari. We added a fix in v1.3.4 that opens the MUMIE Task in a tab instead of an iFrame for all Safari users.

#FAQ on Ilias integration for teachers

• Why are not all grades up-to-date?

  Currently, grades for the MUMIE Tasks are only updated when their Learning Progress tab is clicked or a course containing them is opened.

• Why is there no Learning Progress tab in my MUMIE Task

  You have either switched off grade synchronization in the MUMIE Task's settings or your administrator has generally disabled the usage of Learning Progress in ILIAS

• Why are students are not automatically logged out of MUMIE servers, when they log out of Moodle?

  This is most likely because MUMIE Task Hook was not activated in the administraion settings.

• MUMIE Task doesn't work with Safari. Is there anything I can do about that?

  Safari blocks all cookies set by iFrames. This means that MUMIE Tasks that are embedded into Ilias won't work with that browser. You can either configure MUMIE Tasks to open in new Tabs or ask your users to use another browser like Chrome or Firefox.
