Enhancement: Applies to "course requests"

[KellerChr]

Hello,

in search of a workflow plugin I came across this plugin and thought it good. Unfortunately I found no option for a course request.

In my Moodle everyone should be able to apply for a course . The course may not be created directly rather to be approved by several people (defined in the workflow).

Someone requests a course (maybe uploads some information stuff and details) -> a defined person decides yes or no -> if no then the requester will informed via mail -> if yes then it will sent to the next person defined in the workflow which able to view the course request and finally accept the request.

Perhaps that would be an improvement ?

Kind regards,

Christopher

It is pretty fundamental to the design of this workflow system that it can apply to a course (or a quiz) after it has been created, but a workflow has to be attached to something that corresponds to a Moodle context. We build it that way, because that met our needs at the OU.

It sounds like the standard Moodle course request feature comes very close to doing what you want: https://docs.moodle.org/31/en/Adding_a_new_course#Course_requests

Hey,
very thanks for the fast reply!

The course request fits only a Little bit. The Standard Moodle course request feature is as follows:

Someone request a course that the Person will create -> a defined person will be contact via mail and will decides yes or no. If the person agree this request -> the course will be created immediately. If the person refuses the request -> the requested person will be contact via mail

It starts well , but stops quickly. Theres no flow that I can define.
