    AI Dashboard Quick Links Block — Fast Access to All AI Tools in Moodle

    With multiple AI plugins installed, finding the right tool at the right time can be confusing for teachers and students. The AI Dashboard Quick Links block creates a one-stop navigation panel for your entire AI Grader plugin suite.

    As RTOs adopt more AI Grader plugins, navigating between them can become confusing — particularly for teachers who use several different tools across their courses. The AI Dashboard Quick Links block adds a clean, customisable navigation panel to the Moodle dashboard and course pages, providing one-click access to every installed AI Grader plugin. Teachers see only the tools they have permission to use, and the block can be personalised to surface the most-used tools prominently.

    Why your RTO needs this

    Tool adoption suffers when access is confusing. Teachers who have to hunt through Moodle's administration menus to find an AI grader or content creator will use them less frequently — defaulting to manual processes out of familiarity. The AI Dashboard Quick Links block removes this friction by putting every AI tool one click away from wherever a teacher is working. It also displays update notifications when new plugin versions are available, keeping your team informed about new features without needing to monitor the AI Grader site.

    Key Features

    Contextual Tool Display

    Shows only the AI tools relevant to the current context — grading tools in assessment contexts, content tools in editing mode.

    Role-Based Visibility

    Teachers see teacher-facing tools; students see student-facing AI features. Admin tools are only visible to users with site administration rights.

    Update Notifications

    The block highlights when plugin updates are available — prompting administrators to download and install the latest versions.

    Customisable Layout

    Administrators can customise which tools appear in the block, in what order, and with what labels — matching your institution's terminology.

    Plugin Status Indicators

    Each plugin link shows a status indicator — whether the plugin is active, has pending updates, or requires attention.

    Common Use Cases
