Students Tracker

Blocks ::: block_studentstracker
Maintained by Pierre Duverneix
This plugin allows you to list users who have not logged into a Moodle course for several days. It lets you configure thresholds beyond which users are listed as potential dropouts. The goal is to provide teachers with a quick way to identify absent or potentially disengaged students. It offers a quick access to the profile and messaging system of each listed user. The roles and groups of the tracked users can be configured globally and at the level of each block instance.

Moodle Student's tracker block

This plugin adds a new block type for Moodle. Its aim is to give the teachers and staff a simple tool to view how many students didn't visit a course for a long time and so, try to reduce student's leaving.
