[Moodle] Moodle and Maze

[Stephen Bloomer]

We do not use Maze so I can't help with that, but I think the main question will be what do you want as your final result?  Does maze give you your class enrolments or is this just to identify users?
 
If this is for authentication then I believe the best way to go it link to Active Directory.  When a user logs in to Moodle for the first time Moodle sucks the information from Active Directory to create the account and populates all information required, username, first and last name and email address etc.  When this is set up correctly you will never have to create a new account again.  All I do is log in about once a year a do a search for people who have not logged on for more than 180 days and delete their account.  This is just to clean up old students as when students are removed from Active Directory it automatically prevents them accessing the Moodle site.
 
For class access we use the enrolment key system.  This is especially good at this time of the year.  Courses for junior years might not start until Jan but the VCE subjects are already looking at giving out work for the Christmas period so they can enrol their students now.
 
Hope that helps.

Hi,

About 4 months ago we installed Moodle 1.9.5 on a server in our own server
room at school. We connect to it via SSL and it is accessible for teachers
and students from within the school intranet and from home. We are now
committed to rolling out Moodle to the whole school community next year.

At the moment I have been exporting students from our Maze v8 database via
a pdf, converting that to a csv file and importing that into Moodle. This
has been successful but clearly not a long term solution for 1200+
students.

Have you or do you know of anyone who has been able to synchronize Maze
with Moodle?

thanks
Paul
