Our module—activity Foo!

We are going to call our sample module activity "Foo!". It will include support for gradebook connectivity, course groups, course reset, and backup and restore. Another design element of this chapter's activity module is to be as simple as possible, while still being fairly comprehensive. Even though backup and restore support is very important for a good user experience, many third-party modules do not include this due to it not being included in NEWMODULE. However, most experienced Moodle administrators will not use an activity module if it does not provide working backup and restore. If we want our activity to be widely used, it is important to make sure backup and restore works. Following is a screenshot of the finished Foo! activity. In the next section, we will get started with the template.
