NED - Mentor Manager
Blocks ::: block_fn_mentor
Maintained by Fern Oliveira
Part of set NED.
With this block, the admin (or designated user) can assign mentors to students. Mentors can then access easy-to-read “progress reports” for their mentees. The admin (or designated users) can also create automated notifications that are sent to teachers, mentors or students based on pre-selected criteria (example: notification is emailed to mentor and student if student has not logged in for 7 days).

This block provides a user-friendly way of pairing mentors with students. Currently, Moodle does not have an effective way of managing the mentor role. By using this block, parents, tutors, or other “helpers” are able to track the progress of particular students across multiple courses. The block exists at the site level. When a mentor logs in, his/her mentees (students) are listed inside the block. When the mentor clicks on the name of a student, a progress report is shown. This report includes grades, submissions, feedback, etc. from all relevant courses. Along with defining mentors and mentees, administrators can also create “notification rules” that are automatically sent (email or SMS) to teachers, mentors or students based on pre-selected criteria (example: send email notification to mentor and student if student has not logged in for 7 days and grade is less than 50%).

First of all, a big "THANK YOU!" for contributing such an amazing set of plugins to the Moodle community...
Future Idea to make the Mentor Manager plugin really fly: how about have a way for parents to create their own account via the "Create New Account" feature in Moodle, but then have a "Mentor Student" plugin that connects them to their students automatically? The way this would work is they would put in their username, then have their student put in their username and password...presto!
This would be "magic" in terms of having to avoid the administrative hassles of creating parent / mentor accounts, and then having to wrestle with the administration of linking mentor accounts to student accounts....
Of course, what you have setup is already wonderful for administration at the system level, but in order to bulk process students and mentors at an institutional scale, this could be an elegant solution....
Thanks for your consideration and keep up the GREAT work!
Is there a way to do bulk uploads via CSV, or is this a feature you've ever considered adding ?
Thanks
Thanks for this great plugin. I have seen that it's not available for Moddle 3.3 on version, but in statistics there is a lot 3.3 version using it. Someone know if it's possible to use it for 3.3 version ? Thanks, best regards.
