Description
The "Peers" plugin for Totara is an innovative tool designed to foster a vibrant and interactive educational community within the LMS. This plugin significantly enhances the peer-learning experience by providing a visual and interactive map that displays peers globally, encouraging cross-border engagement and knowledge exchange. Key functionalities include:
- Dynamic Student Cards: Each card displays the student’s name, a message link, pending 'friend' feature, the number of shared courses, and their interests. The colour-coded system quickly indicates the extent of commonalities, enhancing potential for collaboration.
- Real-time Availability: The plugin differentiates between online and offline peers with a colour-coding system, enabling students to reach out to active users for immediate interaction.
- Organised Peer Tabs: The user interface is neatly organised into tabs that categorise peers into favourites, local peers, and global connections, making navigation intuitive.
- Interactive Map: A world map pinpoints peer locations, with markers indicating the number of online users in each country. Clicking a marker updates the peer list to show users from that specific region.
- Expandable Views: The "Show More" feature allows users to dynamically load additional peer profiles without overwhelming the initial page view.
- Integration and Extensibility: The plugin is designed to integrate messaging and 'add to friends' features, enhancing the platform's social networking capabilities.
