Moodle Booking Module (mod_booking)
This Moodle plugin allows provides users the possibility to book moodle-courses or other offline courses or any other events. It has powerful features in order to manage and create booking options. Please contact info@wunderbyte.at for improvement suggestions, bug reports etc.
What does it do?
The booking module provides an easy to setup tool to manage course and event bookings. A typical use case would be an event with a limited number of participants. You can set the maximum number of participants on the waiting list. You can also automatically create sign-in sheets and mark the attendance in the module. Another usecase would be to offer a management system for bookings for your online courses in Moodle. You can define the maximum number of participants, enrol all users automatically to the course and move users from the waiting list to another booking option when there is need for an additional course.
The tool also offers the possibility for specific users to manage their own event and to subscribe users to a course. Also you can limit the maximum number of bookings a single user can make.
Booking is constantly updated with improvements, bugfixes and changes. Please have a look into CHANGES.md or into RELEASENOTES to see what's new.
