Activities: 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:

Any advice is appreciated!
And THANKS... This plugin is excellent!
I'm afraid there is no existing setting to control the default view on the report page. If you really want progress bars to be the default, then look in checklist/locallib.php for function get_report_settings() and change $settings->showprogressbars = false to $settings->showprogressbars = true - but you'll need to make that change after any upgrades.
Alternatively, if you have a developer who can make a small patch to create a global setting for that option, then I'd be happy to integrate it into my code.
There isn't a feature that allows you to include an activity, without a link. You could, however, just create a manual item in the list and use that instead of an activity (as that wouldn't have a link - although it also wouldn't automatically check-off when the activity is completed).
I would like to ask if check lists can be used collaboratively with students working on a group project? I would like the students to break down the project into tasks that they can all see on their shared checklist, agree on tasks and prioritise work. Is this possible?
First up, Loving the plugin. I use it for my sports club to allow me (as a coach) to set up different skills (each one being a checklist) and I then go in and tick their checklist once I have seen them demonstrate the skill.
As there are about 50 girls to mark off, and i have used 3 seperate check list instances - one for each skill level, it would be great if I could display all of their names when I click the "edit checks". Is there a way I can extend the view to show more names.
Any other people using this in this way that could share ideas. Happy to write a breakdown of how I am using it, as it really does work well.
Thanks so much to one and all.

Maybe someday I could add something to the form to set the number of users per page, but I'm not going to promise to do so in the near future.
Is that possible to freeze the titles of the colomns and the titles of the lignes in the 'edit checks' section. We are using an electronic tablet with Moodle 3.3. Thank you.

There is no simple way to achieve what you are asking. Doing so requires some slightly fiddly javascript to create duplicates of the elements you want to remain in place and then have those duplicates float above the rest of the table, whilst the page is scrolled.
Entirely possible to write, but would take a few hours work to do it.
