CheckSkill is a fork on Checklist plugin : https://github.com/davosmith/moodle-checklist

I have made some additions to the original code to get some new functionnalities, so:

• Student may comment their Skills / Tasks and upload files or URL as prove of practice.
• Student can add descriptions to items
• Student can add file to descriptions
• Student can export (if configured) the list of items to Mahara
• Teacher may import a list of Outcomes as list of tasks / skills
• Teacher may export items as Outcomes
• When outcomes are imported in CheckSkill, these outcomes are checked automaticaly in CheckSkill when checked in any Moodle activity using these outcomes in the same course.

Installation

• Download Zip archive in ".YOUR_MOODLE_SERVER/mod/" directory
• Log as admin
• Notification, update database.
• Go to any course
• Add a new activity "CheckSkill"
• Import any Outcomes file of any kind as Item list.
• Let Students check their skills, upload documents, etc.
• Let Teachers add comments / evaluate.

How CheckSkill differs from CheckList

1. New data description and document

   • New DB tables 'checkskill_description' and 'checkskill_document'
   • New config parameter : $CFG->checkskill_description_display
     New script : settings.php
   • New scripts : edit_description.php, edit_document.php, delete_description.php, delete_document.php, file_api.php

2. Portfolio Mahara export added:

   • lib.php : MOODLE 2.0 FILE API
   • function checkskill_pluginfile($course, $cm, $context, $filearea, $args, $forcedownload) serves activite documents and other files.
   • locallib.php : many functions added or modified

3. Import of Outcomes file (csv format) to get Outcomes as Items in Checkskill

   • Teachers may import Outcomes (outcomes.csv) files in Checkskill to get these outcomes as Items.
   • Furthermore any Item of Checkskill may be validated by the way of Moodle activity (Assignment or Quiz for exemple) which uses the same Outcomes.
   • This does not affect any Checkskill DB tables
   • New config parameter: $CFG->checkskill_outcomes_input
   • New scripts : importexportoutcomes.php, import_outcomes.php, export_outcomes.php, export_selected_outcomes.php, select_export.php, cron_outcomes.php, file_api.php
   • Scripts modification: lib.php // Process Outcomes as Items, locallib.php : function view_import_export(), autoupdate.php
   • New localisation strings: lang/en/checkskill.php: new strings, lang/fr/checkskill.php: new strings and translation

4. Backup / Restore script modified: backup/moodle2 scripts completed for new tables

5. Installation script modified: ./mod/checkskill/install.xml, ./mod/checkskill/upgrade.php
