Resume Button

Local plugins ::: local_resume
Maintained by Rudraksh Batra
The Resume Button plugin adds a contextual "Resume where you left off" button to Moodle courses, helping learners quickly return to their last activity or start again after completion. It supports two levels of tracking: -Course-level Resume Button: Takes users to their last accessed activity in the course. -Section-level Resume Button: Displays on each course section, helping users jump back into the last viewed activity within that specific section. When all activities in a section or course are completed, the button label changes to "Start Again", redirecting users to the first available activity.
