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.

Will there come also a version for Moodle 3.1?
The plugin works on Moodle 3.1. You can actually pick it and install it on your platform.
I will test it when version 3.2 stable will be released.
I am wondering if I am missing something. Instructor role can not see the block. Thanks
I'm pretty sure this comes from the fact that the plugin is based on users capacities to be visible or not.
I guess "instructor" is a custom role that does not has "manageactivities" capacity on your Moodle instance.
I'm gonna try to make it possible !
I released a new version of the plugin that adds the ability to choose the roles able to see the block's results in the block configuration page.
Hope it solves your problem !
Thanks for your quick reply. I will install the new version and let you know.
On block config page I can not translate the following:
Block title (blocktitle)
Text when no access at all (block_studentstracker_text_never)
Ricardo
It also includes an option to set an amount of visible results, the rest being toggable with a button.

It seems to be an issue with git files. I've just pushed a new version without the .git directory. Can you give me a feedback if it works ?
I have some custom roles installed and even if I set the 'track every role' to NO, these custom roles still show up as inactive students. How do I remove them from the list? The custom roles are not student roles! Also not based on the archetype STUDENT!
I just made a test this morning with a custom role and it worked on the latest version. Could you upgrade the plugin and give another try ?
