It is indeed a very useful block. I was wondering if you could also make it include resources as well. It would be very helpful for teachers and course designers in optimizing the course resources.
Resources are included in the Heatmap.
I've uploaded a new version that includes a fix for some of the colour issues.

I suppose that would be possible, but it would be a big effort to collect that information and I'm not sure how people would relate it to the heatmap idea.
Can I suggest you check out one of my other plugins that shows Completion information for students in a concise way.

This looks like a great plugin.
Do you think it could be combined with a resource/activity rating system? A combination of a heat map with a rating function would be extremely useful for teachers to make the most of their resources on Moodle.
I think there are some activity rating plugins already. I'm not too keen to combine that functionality into this plugin as it currently works simply without any config or user feedback.

Any update to Moodle 3.4?
Ricardo
I've just checked with 3.3 and 3.4 and it seems to work nicely still. I've added those versions to the most recent release.
Michael
With a few changes, including privacy code, I've uploaded a new version for 2.7 to 3.8.
Enjoy!
Michael
Sorry for the delayed reply. The plugin still works with versions up to 3.10.
is there a chance to get this working with 4.1?
Best regards
Sebastian
