Course formats: eTask topics format
Make it easy! With eTask topics format – available for
Moodle 2.9-3.8


Motivates your students even more! Activity popover provides progress bars of completed and passed activities.
Students can see progress of completed activities as well as passed. Private mode is back in a play! No private data like grades of other students – motivationalprogress bars only. Progress bars are calculated by default.
Due date in popover shows expected completion date if due date is missing.
Privacy? No problem! Set up private view in eTask settings and display real data in progress bars even if only one student is shown.

Grade to pass – the simplest way to set up.
Set up grade to pass simply – in a course editing mode you canopen activity modal, set grade to pass and save – thats it!
It is possible to use user defined scales. It is necessary to define scales ascending (from the worst to the best value), e.g. No, Yes
or F, D, C, B, A
!


Activity completion – so powerful tool!
Activity completion is enabled by default in Moodle 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8. You can manage Activity completion
in each of the course activity.
In Moodle 3.1 and 3.2 Enable completion tracking
in Course setting
and you can manageActivity completion
as well.
Moodle 2.9 and 3.0 has disabled activity completion by default. Go to Site administration
-> Advanced features

Better customization with new features – activities sorting and grading table placement.
For better customization the most of the plugin configurations were moved to the course format settings. eTask topics format is more usable than ever before!
Is the sorting of activities by the latest uncomfortable for you? Never mind! New ability to sort activitiesis here– by the latest, by the oldest or as they are in the course.
Do you want to the content of the course first? Now you can choose the placement of the eTask above or below the course sections.
Still not enough? Try it and let me know – we can improve it together!
You can edit course format settings by Edit settings
in the course. There are five configurable fields: eTask private view, eTask progress bars, eTask students per page, eTask activities sorting and eTask placement.

There something that is a little confuse about the order of the a activities, the order Right to Left, but maybe for some people like me prefer a order Left to Right.
I attach an image with the idea, would be great that the user can select in the preference the order. Any way great job
