QMplus Plugins List – updated 2020

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

For: StaffApplication: QMplus


Plugins are evaluated and tested by the E-Learning Unit and IT Services teams before they are installed in QMplus. If you would like a plugin to be installed or developed for QMplus, please visit our plugin policy page for guidance.

QMplus has several plugins already installed that have either been developed in-house by our own developers, or have been contributed to the Moodle community by external developers (3rd Party Plugins), and added to our QMplus site after careful consideration. Plugins need to be re-tested every time we do an upgrade, as some plugins are not updated regularly and may no longer be supported when we upgrade QMplus.

Please note: QMUL developers are not able to update 3rd party plugins. These need to be updated by the external company or 3rd party who developed the plugin. In some cases we may need to discontinue using a plugin if it is no longer supported or updated by the developers, and where it is causing problems to the QMplus site.

You may not realise that you are using a QMplus plugin, so below is a list of currently available QMplus plugins. This list is not up to date. Please contact elearning@qmul.ac.uk if you have any queries about plugins.
