About
The companion to local_oerexchange, which runs on the central Exchange
site. This is the plugin a teacher's own Moodle site installs.
- Share — a "Share to OER Exchange" link on every course's secondary navigation opens a wizard (whole course or a single activity, license, metadata). Sharing queues an ad-hoc task that builds a backup with the user data stripped out, and uploads it to the Exchange.
- Identity — a one-time site registration by an administrator, then a per-teacher account-linking handshake that mints a personal Exchange token, so each teacher's shares are attributed to them.
- Browse and import — search the Exchange's catalogue, read a resource's structure preview and required-plugin disclosure before committing, then import it. A course created by an import is hidden from students until you have reviewed it and made it visible; importing an activity into a course you already had never changes that course's visibility. Generic data resources offer a download rather than an import.
- Share status — reports what the Exchange actually holds for each of your shares: status, first published, last updated, visible or hidden, downloads and imports. "Update the shared copy" re-uploads the course as it stands now and replaces the published file, without creating a duplicate catalogue entry. A share whose source course or activity has since been deleted says so, rather than failing.
Connections to the Exchange verify TLS certificates and respect Moodle's outbound-request security checks. The setting that accepts invalid certificates is off by default and exists only for development rigs on private networks.
