  1. How to configure a course to operate with the chatbot

  2. How to configure lesson, quiz, and feedback activities for the chatbot

  3. Limitations for each activity type

  4. Troubleshooting

Prerequisites

Verify your Moodle version is supported and install the Moodle Chatbot Plugin.

Create a Moodle Chatbot App compatible course

The chatbot, by default, will not show any courses. To enable a course for the chatbot, do the following:

  1. Navigate to the course and click on the ‘Settings’ tab

  2. Scroll down to the ‘Other fields’ section

  3. Locate the ‘BotMode’ field and change its value to ‘Yes’

The ‘BotMode’ field is a course custom field that is automatically created when the Moodle Chatbot Plugin is first installed.

Create a compatible Lesson activity

The chatbot is capable of showing multiple content pages, later divided into smaller paragraphs when the information arrives to the user on WhatsApp. To add a new content page:

  1. Click ‘Add a content page’ if the lesson is empty, or ‘Add a new page’ if you already have pages in the lesson.

  1. Enter the page title and the page content. This is what the chatbot will display to the users when they open the lesson from WhatsApp.

Please note: it is possible to add images to the page content, but the only format currently permitted by the chatbot is .jpg.

Create a course for the use of Bot Manager

To customize a course and enable the use of "Bot Manager," follow these detailed steps:

  1. Create a Moodle course: start by creating a new course in Moodle. Ensure that you select the option “Bot XXXXXX” so the course can be made available in the Moodle eLearning Chatbot

  2. Configure Compatible Activities: in course settings enable and setup the activities compatible with the Moodle eLearning Chatbot.

    1. Lessons' content can include images and text, but no video

    2. Images should be sized up to xxx pixels x xxx pixels

Ensure that students have access to relevant, challenging, and consistent content aligned with the course objectives. Remember that you are delivering content on a chatbot - your lessons should be compose of small chunks of text and your images should be optimized for chatbot delivery.
