About
Install this alongside local_oerclient on a teacher's own Moodle site, so
that the Exchange is visible on the Dashboard without having to navigate to a
dedicated page first. Two panels:
- Shared from this site — the site's own outgoing shares to the Exchange, whether a course or a single activity, each with its status: queued, building a backup, uploading, published, or failed. Read straight from the local database, with no network call.
- Recent OER available — a handful of the newest resources published on the connected Exchange, each with its creator's name, fetched through the same search web service the browse page already uses.
If the site is not yet registered with an Exchange, or the Exchange cannot be reached, the second panel shows a plain explanatory message instead of an error.
local_oerclient must already be installed and configured. This block
declares it as a hard dependency, so Moodle's plugin installer will refuse to
install the block without it.
