The Moodle-Digikogu interface allows the student to upload their thesis to Moodle so it could be later on sent to Digikogu.
To use the Digikogu interface, you must have a thesis course in Moodle. If you do not have an existing thesis course in Moodle, it can be ordered from the Education Technology Center by sending the following information to moodle@taltech.ee:
Name of the thesis course
Institute
Role assignment (lecturer, digital collector)
To use the interface in an existing thesis course, please contact moodle@taltech.ee.

Possible errors when filling in the form
Viga
The inserted student name is incorrect
If the name is displayed in red in the 'Submitted Thesis' view, the first name and last name entered do not match the name of the student in the Moodle database.
Matriculation number is not entered correctly
The matriculation number must be 6 digits long. An incorrectly entered matriculation number is displayed in red in the 'Submitted Thesis' view to warn of a possible error. It is not possible to send the thesis to Digikogu with the incorrectly entered matriculation number.
The names of the two inserted supervisors match
At least one thesis supervisor must be included in the thesis submission form. Another supervisor can be added if applicable. If the names of two different supervisors match, the names will appear in red in the "Submitted Thesis" view to warn of a possible error.
The qualification of the supervisor is not determined when entering another supervisor
It is not possible to send the thesis to Digikogu in the 'Submitted Thesis' view.
The student cannot make changes to the thesis submission form
When submitting the thesis, it is necessary to press 'Save' and not 'Submit answers', as saving allows the student to change data and respond to the teacher's feedback if necessary. By clicking 'Submit Answers', the student can no longer change the data and the teacher cannot give the student the right to change the data. In this case, the only option is for the teacher to delete the form submitted by the student and the student has to fill out the form from the start.
The following files can be uploaded alongside the thesis submission form:
