Idea of a new block to show the most active courses

Do you think it is useful to have a block to show the most active courses in the first page? It may trigger a competition among different courses or sections. I write this because the last term there were not much discussions in two of my courses.

I think that would be a great idea - I know that this kind of thing will be in 1.6 stats but to have it on a block would be nice too for non admins to see.

I disagree-the important thing is quality, not quantity. And besides, this may lead to the less popular courses becoming less popular rather than the other way around.

You are right. The quality is more important. However, since active learning starts with discussions, having poor discussions is an indicator of lack of quality of learning. I think the block may be bringing the results from especially discussion activities. The number of forums, students and discussions may be useful.
