MUMIE Moodle integration for teachers
This article is meant for teachers and instructors, who would like to use content from MUMIE courses (e.g. OMB+) in their own Moodle course.
Please note, that the MUMIE integration only works, if the necessary Moodle plugins have been installed. In case they are missing, please get in touch with your Moodle administrator.
How to add a new MUMIE Task to a Moodle course

If it's not, you need to activate editing mode by clicking the options symbol on the top right and select Turn editing on |
 |
| 2 |
Click on Add an activity or resource in the section in which you want to create the MUMIE Task |
 |

The options that you have in the problem selector when choosing the Pool server are a bit different than those when you chose a course server.
See here for the pool server and here for course servers. |
|

After you have selected a problem, you can change the Name for the MUMIE Task, and choose whether the MUMIE Task should be embedded into Moodle or opened in a New window by selecting the corresponding option in the Launch container field.
New window is preferred as by default some browsers block the authentification in iframes which is used for embedded problems. |
This is what an embedded MUMIE Task looks like in Moodle:
 |
| 7 |
Enter an integer for Maximum points and a minimal passing grade in the Grade section.
You can also set a Deadline. If you do so, grades that were earned after the selected date won't be synchronized with the gradebook.
If you are adding the first MUMIE Task to a course you must also select whether to share grades with other MOODLE courses. Keep in mind that this decision is final, applies to all MUMIE Tasks in this course and cannot be changed later. |

How to create MUMIE Tasks with Drag and Drop
It's possible to create one or more MUMIE Tasks by simply dragging problems into your course. There are two methods available but we recommend to use Lemon since its easier to use and supports all available languages.
Caution: This feature is not activated by default. Please talk to your MOODLE administrator, if you'd like to use it.
The instruction for your MOODLE adminstrator is here.
How to create MUMIE Tasks with Drag and Drop via Lemon

How to add a MUMIE server to Moodle
You can add a new MUMIE server from the MUMIE Task activity form. Keep in mind that you cannot edit or delete already existing MUMIE servers. If you ever need to do that, please contact your administrator.
Furthermore, (if not done already) we might have to allow your Moodle server to connect to the MUMIE server.

| 1 |
Make sure that editing is enabled for the course.
If it's not, you need to activate editing mode by clicking the options symbol on the top right and select Turn editing on |
|
| 2 |
Click on Add an activity or resource in the section in which you want to create the MUMIE Task |
|
| 3 |
Click on the Add MUMIE server button |

Enter a name for the new server configuration and the url prefix and click Save changes |

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.

A MUMIE exercise represents a single graded exercise of a MUMIE course. |

| Require passing grade |
In Moodle it is possible to automatically set an activity to completed, if certain conditions are met. If you select this option, a MUMIE task is only marked as completed, if the user has at least a passing grade |
| Deadline |
Choose a deadline for the MUMIE task. If enabled, grades of tasks that were submitted after the selected date will not be synchronized with Moodle |
| Share grades with other courses |
Choose whether to share a grade pool with other MOODLE courses or to use a private one.
If sharing is enabled, points that were earned for MUMIE problems in other courses will be automatically synchronized with this course\'s gradebook.
If not, this course will neither be able to import nor to export grades. |
Creating and import your own pool worksheets
When using the pool server,
you can bundle multiple problems into a single worksheet and adjust the correction logic and workflow.
Check our article about pool worksheet
to see how this works.
Keep in mind that you need to be logged into pool.mumie.net with your personal account. If you the warning Access denied, you have probably opened a MUMIE Task and currently logged in with an anonymous account authorized by your Moodle. You logout and login again with your personal account.
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'.
FAQ
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).
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.
