ZSK Termine – Centralized appointment management for Moodle

34 download

Manage events centrally in Moodle and display them on the dashboard, the home page, the "My courses" page, and directly within courses. Includes optional notifications, reminders, and calendar integration.

Important dates are an essential part of any Moodle platform. Exams, training sessions, registration deadlines, office hours, and events need to be communicated reliably. In practice, however, this information is often scattered across various locations—such as the Moodle calendar, forums, HTML pages, PDFs, or emails.

This leads to duplicate maintenance, conflicting information, and unnecessary inquiries. Users often do not know where to look for the latest schedule updates, while administrators and course managers are forced to update the same event in multiple places.

"ZSK Termine" provides a centralized scheduling management system for Moodle. Events are created once and can then be displayed exactly where users look for them: on the dashboard, the home page, under "My Courses," and—using the optional "ZSK Termine" course activity—directly within a specific course.

This establishes a single, central source of data. Changes or cancellations need to be made only once to ensure the information is up to date everywhere.

Permission settings allow the task of managing events to be delegated to appropriate staff members without granting full administrator rights. Optionally, the plugin can automatically notify users of new events or reminders and integrate with external calendar and communication systems. Features

"ZSK Events" ensures that important events are easily found and need to be managed in only one place. Administrators reduce maintenance effort, course instructors work with up-to-date information, and participants can view upcoming relevant events at any time in key areas of the platform.

Important: The free "ZSK eigene Startseiten-Elemente" plugin is required to display the scheduled events on the home page, my Courses and the dashboard.
