MUMIE Moodle integration for administrators
This article is meant for administrators of Moodle servers, who want to enable the usage of MUMIE content on their platform.
Installation
You need to install two separate Moodle plugins for the MUMIE-Moodle integration to work (mod_mumie and auth_mumie). Due to restrictions
from the Moodle architecture, it's currently not possible to provide all necessary functionalities in a single plugin.
You can install both plugins directly from the MOODLE Plugin Directory.

We need this information to configure our own servers |
Enabling MUMIE Task creation with Drag and Drop
Teachers can create MUMIE Tasks in their MOODLE courses simply by dragging browser elements from MUMIE courses into MOODLE. But you need to enable an experimental MOODLE feature for that to work.
Just go to Site Administration->Development->Experimental Settings and activate Drag and drop upload of text/links.
When introduced several years ago, this feature was marked as experimental to ensure consistency in the UI because there is no general browser standard for the drag event. E.g.: It is not possible to drag elements between FireFox and Chrome.
Adding, editing and deleting MUMIE servers
Teachers can add new MUMIE servers themselves, but for security reasons, they cannot edit or delete them. If you want to do any of that, you need to follow these steps:
| Step |
Description |
Example |
| 1 |
Go to Site administration |
|
| 2 |
Select the Plugins tab and click on Plugins overview |
 |
| 3 |
Search the table for the auth_mumie entry and click on Settings |
 |
| 4 |
Select if you want to add, edit or delete a MUMIE server by clicking on the respective buttons |
 |
| 5 |
When adding or editing a MUMIE server configuration, keep in mind that both Server name and MUMIE URL Prefix must be unique |
 |
Important notice
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). This means that we cannot guarantee that all grades are up-to-date, when they are accessed by other means than the one described above.
Course Activity Reports
Every time a student opens a MumieTask (activity) a log entry is created. These logs can be accessed as usual through the Moodle 'Course reports'.
