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:

I take it from your comment that you've tried it and it is not working?
Does it strip out the tags completely, or are they still present, but not processed correctly?
Are they present in the database or do they only go wrong when output to the user?

When a checklist was set to complete on condition, and when the completion percentage was not set, the checklist does not complete when all checkbox was checked.

Duh. That of course was expected behavior.. That is not the issue I am talking about.
The issue goes after this. Our teacher did not know the module well enough, so they went into the setting page to save it again to trigger the completion check. The first save works as expected, get the student who checked all required box a nice completion mark on the course page.
However, on the second checklist setting save, it gave all enrolled student completion check. Does not care if they have checklist completed or not.
So the checklist_check table is still empty, but the course_module_completion table was somehow all filled up, after the user saved setting in the <>/course/modedit.php?update=cmid for the second time.
This happens with completion triggered by both the cron or the core competionlib.php hack. All enrolled students got the same completion timestamp.
I know this seems such a corner case.. It happened with 2014070600 version on moodle 2.8.2 if it helps.
Thank you for your efforts and time.
There is a version tested with M2.8 on git hub, which I'll now add here as well.
Our courses are asynchronous, so it’s very difficult at times for teachers to monitor the progress of students. We were hoping the checklist was the answer, until it was found that the student can check an activity as complete even if it is not.
The teacher student option was considered but this requires the teacher to go into each individual students checklist. This is just not an option for our program.
My question is, could the plugin be edited to have activities marked complete automatically (based on completion settings) and remove the option for the student to check off items? If so can someone give some ideas of how this could be done? I realize this would require some coding/programming. Just hoping it’s something we can do.
