Moodle™ plugin
»Margic«
The activity plugin »mod_margic« has been developed and is maintained by the coactum GmbH on commission from the Paderborn University in Germany. It is part of the free and open-source e-learning management system Moodle™ and can be used for free in all currently supported Moodle™ installations.
Settings
In the general settings, administrators can define a system-wide configuration for the appearance and functionality of all Margics. On the one hand, this affects the question of the background colors of the entries and annotations as well as the width of the annotation area. On the other hand, it also affects whether teachers may determine while creating a Margic if participants can edit their entries or freely select the date of these.
Statistics
In a comprehensive statistical overview, teachers receive an annotation respectively error summary and can thus evaluate for each participant how many and which errors they made in a Margic. Participants, however, only see their own errors by default for data protection reasons.

Description
In the Margic activity, participants can create extensive entries which can then be evaluated and annotated by teachers.
Margics can be used in a meaningful way in language lessons, for example. Students can create entries to answer variable tasks, write their own texts and stories, or practice vocabulary.
Teachers can then view, correct and evaluate these entries on a customizable overview page. For this purpose, they can mark specific text passages and write annotations for them, whereby an error type and a short text can be stored for each annotation. The entire entry can also be graded and provided with textual or acoustic feedback. Participants then have the opportunity to revise their original entry and use the feedback received to improve it.
The available error types for the annotations can be flexibly adjusted. In an error summary, instructors can also evaluate for each participant how many and which errors they made in a Margic. Finally, it is also possible to export or print the entries in a Margic for further use.
