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.
