Repository

The Sharing Cart block (release 6 or later) can upload and download Moodle activities/resources directly from a Moodle Repository. The "Download from Repository" button will download already-chosen resources from a new site built for Moodle for Language Teaching by Version2 Web Development. In the future, there may be more repository sites available.

Setup and Operation

  1. Make an account on the Moodle for Language Teaching Repository site: http://moodlelang.org
  2. Install the Sharing Cart block on your home site — download from CVS: http://download.moodle.org/download.php/plugins/blocks/sharing_cart.zip
  3. Click the "hammer tool" icon on your Sharing Cart to setup a connection to the Repository.
  4. Type this Repository URL: http://ept3.sgu.ac.jp/course/view.php?id=2 along with the Username and Password of your Repository account.
  5. Put an item from your home site into your Sharing Cart.
  6. Click on the "Upload to Repository" icon next to that item.
  7. Fill in the metadata information, and click "Register".
  8. You have uploaded your first contribution to the Repository and will receive 200 points registration bonus and 20 points for each item you upload.
  9. To download ("buy") items, you first view an item then click the "Buy" button. Normally it will "cost" you 10 points.
  10. Then go to your home site's Sharing Cart and click the "Download from Repository" button, located at the bottom of the cart.
