Course dedication
NOTE: This plugin has a new maintainer.
Thanks to the University of Canterbury for sponsoring the upgrade work to support Moodle 4.0 and the new report builder API.
Introduction
This block allows to see the estimated dedication time to a Moodle course by the participants of the course.
How dedication time is estimated?
Time is estimated based in the concepts of Session and Session duration applied to Moodle's log entries:
- Click: every time that a user access to a page in Moodle a log entry is stored.
- Session: set of two or more consecutive clicks in which the elapsed time between every pair of consecutive clicks does not overcome an established maximum time.
- Session duration: elapsed time between the first and the last click of the session.
Features
This block is intended to be used only by teachers, however the block can be configured to show dedication time to students too.
Teachers can use a tool to analyse dedication time within a course. The tool provides three reporting methods:
- Dedication time of the course: calculates total dedication time, mean dedication time and connections per day for each student, which you can filter by course group if required.
- Dedication of a student: detailed sessions for a student with start date & time, duration and ip.
- Report builder source: The plugin includes a custom report builder source to allow for site-level reporting to be generated.

Could you please tell me about an approximate date of deployment?
If some of you have more problems, probably is not related with this module.
is it possible to track not only the students, but also the teacher activity?

In my installation users with "editingteacher" role are showing on the list.
I could only find "block/dedication:addinstance" and "block/dedication:use" and they are set to "permit".
I´m using the latest version.
Any idea?

# Participants: 65
But the "Dedication Block" only shows 32 (????)
All the 32 participants that are showing in the Dedication Block belong to a group!!!
Tested with another course with 200 Participants and the Dedication Block shows all of them (no groups)
It seems to me that this block does not work correctly when there are groups in the course.
I just checked it out!
Was wondering if you plan on seeing if the plugin will work with Moodle 3.10? My courses start in June and would like to use the latest version for security proposes. Thanks.
If Andy's not available, has anyone tested it on the 3.10 release?

@Andres Sch, could you tell me what theme are you using so I can try to debug the css issue?
