This is the README file for the MooTyper project. MooTyper is
a moodle extension, that adds the 'typing instructor' functionallity to Moodle. 
The plugin url is: https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=mod_mootyper

MooTyper is free software, the same as Moodle.

1. REQUIREMENTS

The MooTyper module uses javascript which is not welcome in Moodle but it is a
requirement for the use of the module. The typing procedure cannot be done without
the client side logic.

It creates some new tables in a moodle database and inserts some sample
typing exercises. This is all done automaticaly through the intstallation,
but real lessons and exercises should be added by teachers afterwards.

2. INSTALLATION

MooTyper is an activity module. You have to extract it to the 'mod' directory.
If the directory name is something like "moodle_mod_mootyper" you have to change
that to just "mootyper". So for example, the path should be like this:
<your moodle installation>/mod/mootyper/view.php

Than go to Site Administration -> Notifications and click on the button below.

3. USING MOOTYPER

Using MooTyper activity module is very simple. An instance can be added as a
new activity in a course like Lesson or Quiz. Thanks to Mary Cooch from moodle.org
we have this video, which shows how to add exercises, create mootyper instance,
and than view grades. It's a little outdated (one of the first versions of
mootyper), but I guess everything stil holds:

4. ADDITIONAL KEYBOARD LAYOUTS

Module currently includes support for English, Japanese, Russian Slovenian, Spanish and Swiss keyboard layouts.

To implement any other layout you have to:
Create a php file with keyboard layout defined with HTML. Create a javascript
file (with the same name and .js extension) that implements the logic of the keyboard
layout. If you have any mistakes in your js file the module won't work, so in
this case try to validate your code with a tool like this...
