General help

Hello Rick. We would like to grade the attendance based on the completion of an assignment, a certain amount of "hours" or points are added.
We intend to document the contact hours as well as the grade they earned.
Let me explain it. students have 20 assignments. they need to completed those assignments in 100 contact hours. Students are completing these assignments distantly at their own time. For every assignment, they should receive 5 contact hours, in addition to the grade we give them for the assignment.
Your attention to our inquiry is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Corporate LMS systems tend to do this by having a "CPD hours" value you can assign to the activity or the course then you generate reports based on that value. I've done something similar in Moodle using custom course fields, and you could also use this plugin to allow you to add a custom "hours" value to a specific activity:
https://moodle.org/plugins/local_modcustomfields

Then you'd need to write a custom report that allowed you to report on that per user.

although - before you do anything .... make sure you upgrade to a recent supported release first... support for the 3.8 branch ends next month.

Thank you for your reply. Greatly appreciated.
