This block aims to give teachers and staff a simple tool to view how many students didn't visit a course for a long time and doing so, tries to reduce student's dropping out.
The block is customizable :
- block's title
- choose the roles and groups you want to track
- choose the roles able to see the block
- set the number of days from last connection required to track users
- set an amount of results to display (the rest can be toggled with a button)
- change the default date format used by the block
It also includes a link to open the direct Moodle message dialog, allowing teachers and managers to contact the tracked users in very a fast and easy way.

The Moodle way seems to be by editing the config.php file at the root of the Moodle installation folder on your server. See the official doc about the method : https://docs.moodle.org/33/en/Block_layout
I have new issue for Moodle version 3.3.5 and details are here https://github.com/Hipjea/moodle-block_studentstracker/issues/9.
Appreciate your help and advise. Thanks!

I forgot to write the release notes. That should be a bit more clear now !
You can configure some settings in Administration > Plugins > Blocks > Students tracker.
Then, simply add the block inside a course with the editor mode. It should appear in the block's section.
Once installed, the only way to use it is to activate the editing mode within a course and, from the navigation bar, chose "Add a block".
It will appear in the list of the available blocks on your platform.
Note that you have to do this from a course, not from the dashboard or the admin view, as the block only works in the context of a course.
