      This issue is about creating a new static model (based on assumptions, not a predictive model) that looks for upcoming events and generates insights about them. These insights can be seen as reminders. MOOCs offered in platforms like coursera or edX have similar automatic-notification systems.

      We should define when (approximately) these notifications will be executed. A new time splitting method would be required to define when insights will be generated.

      We would also need a new target and a new indicator. The indicator should not be tied to this particular model as it should be reusable across different models (https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Analytics_API#Indicator_.28core_analytics.5Clocal.5Cindicator.5Cbase.29). I imagine that the required indicator would be something like "Activities due". This indicator would receive the starttime and endtime from the time splitting method and would pass it to core_calendar_external::get_calendar_action_events_by_timesort (MDL-60340 needs to be implemented before this issue)

      The target is where the logic that is specific to this particular model should be implemented.

      This will be the first model to target students directly. We have different options here:

      1. To generate a notification which URL forwards the user to a view where the upcoming activities are listed (e.g. The dashboard) The URL should not be a direct url to /my, but a link to report/insights/action.php which receives a $forwardurl param. This action.php script records the fact that users clicked on the notification before forwarding them to /my. This will be useful in future for reporting purposes.
      2. To generate the standard notification which URL forwards to the insights page. Apart from the two default actions ("Acknowledged" and "Not useful") we should include a "View" action that forwards the user to the page where the upcoming activities are listed.
