AI Skill Navigator

AI Skill Navigator is a Moodle plugin suite that adds course-aware AI learning tools for students and teachers.

The package contains:

• local_aiskillnavigator: the main local plugin with AI tutor, quiz generation, mind maps, assessments, material/RAG tools, learning-gap analysis, simulator suggestions and course-building helpers.
• block_aiskillnavigator: an optional course block that links users to the tools available for their role.

Production defaults

The plugin is designed to install safely with conservative defaults:

• The default AI provider is prototype, which performs no external AI calls.
• External AI use for course materials is disabled until an administrator enables it.
• Per-material approval is required before teacher materials can be sent to external providers.
• Destructive AI Course Builder actions are disabled by default.
• Automatic course-resource synchronisation on Moodle events is disabled by default.
• Automatic block insertion into courses is disabled by default.
• External MathJax CDN loading is disabled by default.

Administrators can enable optional external services from the plugin settings.
