Location:
Course Gear menu / More / Reports tab / Activity report
Description:
This is one of the reports computed from logs. It summarizes (counts) views and posts per activity/resource by all users within the course context. The focus is on the contents of the course, not the individual students. Links are provided to individual activities.
Intended audience:
Most likely helpful to instructors and future course developers.
Purpose:
This report shows which activities and resources are being used the most or least by participants (but includes the instructor). An instructor could use this to get a general sense of whether the students are making use of some resources more than others during a class, but this would be of more use when preparing to teach the next term.
Suggestions:
- Allow filtering by activity type, and by section.
- Display “posts” total and distinct users, not just views
- Display last post, not just last view
- Allow site admin to hide “related blog entries” if blogs are not being used
- Provide a view with horizontal box-whisker plots to summarize minimum posts, max, quartiles per activity.
- Filter by user could integrate this with the User Outline Report and/or Complete Report.
- Respond to known bug https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-53952 teacher actions are included in Activity Report totals. There should be the ability to filter by role.
Conversion to Configurable Reports:
The following enhancements to Configurable Reports (defined above) would be needed to convert this report:
- Report type: Log (or ability to attach log table to new Course Module report)
- Group/Break report with calculations
- Cell calculation with concatenation
- Cell calculation with icon replacement (for module icons)
- URL link to related report
- Receive URL parameters
