Moodle&#8217;s text filters apply to all text areas and so learning content and user generated texts will have their readability level\/index displayed, for example in Pages, Books, Forums, Wikis, Glossaries, Assignments, Databases, Lessons, and Labels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">I&#8217;m interested in hearing any comments and suggestions you might have for possible uses, advantages, and\/or limitations of this plugin. I&#8217;d also like to keep the discussion as widely accessible as possible to all members of the Moodle community. To that end, rather than post comments here (comments are now disabled on this blog) please participate the Moodle.org discussion thread for this plugin: <a title=\"Moodle.org | Readability plugin discussion\" href=\"https:\/\/moodle.org\/mod\/forum\/discuss.php?d=243715\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/moodle.org\/mod\/forum\/discuss.php?d=243715<\/a>. It&#8217;s free and easy to join, it&#8217;s well moderated, and you&#8217;ll be in contact with thousands of other Moodlers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">The beta version of the plugin (still under development) is <a title=\"Github.com | Readability\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/matbury\/filter_readability\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>. At the moment, I don&#8217;t recommend it for production sites as it hasn&#8217;t been extensively tested.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align:justify;\">Readability of this article<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Flesch-Kincaid Reading Ease \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<strong>47.6 \/ 100<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<strong>11<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Gunning-Fog Score \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<strong>12.2<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Coleman-Liau Index \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<strong>13.8<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>SMOG Index \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<strong>9.7<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Automated Readability Index \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<strong>11.1<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Average Grade Level \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<strong>11.6<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a quick announcement to let you know that I&#8217;ve just started a new plugin project for Moodle.
