Checklist
This is a Moodle activity module for Moodle 1.9 and Moodle 2.0+ that allows a teacher to create a checklist / todo list / task list for their students to work through. The teacher can monitor all the students' progress, as they tick off each of the items
in the list. Items can be indented and marked as optional. Students are presented with a simple bar showing how far they have progressed through the required/optional items and can add their own, private, items to the list.
Features include:
- Choose whether students or teachers can check-off items
- Students can add their own notes to their checklist
- Dates can be added to items (and exported to the calendar)
- Teachers can comment on an individual student's items
- Progress is exported to the gradebook
- Choice of colours for each checklist item
- Heading items (without checkboxes)
- (Optional) Import list of current course activities and automatically check-off as activities completed
There are two other plugins that further enhance this activity:

When you manually create items like that and include links to other activities, then as far as the checklist is concerned, that link could be to any arbitrary place on the internet, so it has no way of determining (without a lot of guesswork, that I haven't programmed into it), how to automatically mark the item as complete.
If you are working with activities on the same course as the checklist, then you can use the setting that imports activities from the current course (or section). If you do that, then the links generated know exactly what activity they are working with and can automatically update when that activity is marked as complete.
Whether that activity, itself, was marked as complete by manually ticking the box or automatically by rules, does not make any difference to the checklist update.
regards,
Does you plugin provide the ability to grade/rate a student within the checklist?
I am not sure but this may be a feature request, when a teacher marks the checklist for a student as "No" - is it possible that the check is automatically removed from the student's end [so that the student does not have to uncheck and check again]

This is not a feature that the Moodle plugin supports directly. It would be possible to change the code and add a setting to control this (because I could imagine many situations in which automatically unchecking the student's checkbox would not be wanted).
It probably isn't a big job to do (just a few lines of code), but I'm unlikely to have any spare evenings to do this in the near future (if this is something you have a budget for, then I could possibly undertake it during my day job at Moodle Partner Synergy Learning).

Thank you.
