TI-Nspire URL Converter
- Moodle 2.0–2.2
- 更新 2012-01-11
Converts TI-Nspire document links (.tns and .tnsp) into TI-Nspire Document Player instances. This allows for the documents to be viewed within Moodle.
Introduction
This plugin simplifies the process of using TI-Nspire document content in Moodle pages. It accomplishes this by automatically converting a link which leads to a TI-Nspire document into an embedded TI-Nspire Document Player applet. This will allow you to embed interactive TI-Nspire content directly into your Moodle coursework.
Installation
As with all Moodle plugins you will need an administrator account and filesystem access on your moodle server for installation.
Locate your ‘ moodle/filter’ folder. This folder should contain other folders like ‘algebra’, ‘urltolink’, and ‘tex’.
Unpack the plugin Zip file into moodle/filter folder
Verify that you have ‘moodle/filter/tinspireurlconverter/filter.php’. Depending on your Zip software you may end up with more than one tinspireurlconverter folder nested inside. If this happens you will need to remove the extra folders.
Login to Moodle as a Site Administrator
Go to Site administration -> Plugins -> Filters -> Manage Filters
Find TI-Nspire URL Converter in the list of Filters
Change the Active? setting to On. This will automatically be saved and the plugin is now installed and ready for use.
Settings
This plugin does not currently have any configuration settings.
Usage
Using a Link
If the TI-Nspire document you are using is already in Moodle or on a web server, you can simple add a link to it on your page and it will be automatically converted into a Ti-Nspire Document Player. To do this, simple add a Link (using the Link tool in the editor) leading to the document.
For more convienient usage you can use this plugin in conjunction with the ‘ Convert URLs into links and images’ filter that is built in to Moodle. Make sure that the TI-Nspire URL Convert is after (below) the Convert URLs filter and that you have enabled all the options from the ‘Convert URLs into Links and Images’ plugin.
The built-in filter will convert a plain url that simply typed or pasted into the Moodle editor into a Link automatically. Therefore that plugin can first turn the URL into a Link then this plugin can turn the Link into the TI-Nspire Document player.
For example, after both plugins are enabled you can simply paste the following URL into a Moodle page and it will be automatically converted into a Link (by the Convert URLs plugin), then converted to a TI-Nspire Document Player (by this plugin).
