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:

In theory, some of this *should* be easy to add to the code and, if I was writing it now (with many more years Moodle dev experience), they could be added very quickly. However, the code is messy and long overdue a refactor, making small changes much more difficult to implement.
I want the % to show on the block after the bar. is there a simple way to get that? If i open the cheklist i have the % para i wish that could also be seen on the course page. Thanks
If you want to show the percentage in the block, then open up blocks/checklist/block_checklist.php and edit the lines that call 'print_user_progressbar', to change the 4th param from 'false' to 'true' (without quotes). The first call to 'print_user_progress' in that file is for teachers seeing an overview of all students in the course, the second call is for students seeing their own progress bar.
We're using checklist 2.x (Build: 2014080601) with our main University Moodle v2.7.7 and we would very much like to have support for the Book module, so that student progress can be monitored against course content in books.
We are currently in the early stages of our upgrade to 3.0.x - is this something that is in the Moodle v3 version of checklist, or if not, is it on the roadmap?
Best regards

I'm not clear exaclty what support you are wanting for the book module. Is it just updating the checklist when a book activity is 'complete'? If so, the easiest way to do this is to use the standard Moodle activity completion and my plugin will pick this up automatically. If you can't use this, then someone would need to find the name of the event (if any) that fires when a book is finished, then edit mod/checklist/classes/local/autocomplete.php to add the name of this event.
My question is when you create multiple checklists for different groups in a course, they all show in the gradebook as expected grades for all students.
For example, if have Group A, Group B, and Group C in my course, I would create 3 checklists that correspond to those groups. I would then restrict access based on groups so that each group can only see the correct checklist.
The problem is that in the gradebook, it shows all checklists for all students and would give a 0 to that student if they haven't completed the checklist. Is there a way to filter out the gradebook to only show checklists that were assigned to that group?
Maybe you could take a look on http://tracker.moodle.org and see if there exists a feature request for that?
An alternative might be to simply not include any checklist in the gradebook (do this by setting the grade to 0 in the checklist settings).
We're hoping to find a way to value the checklist in the gradebook as either a 0 value or a 1. The maximum value of the activity is 1 point, but Moodle seems to round up in the gradebook. For example, if there are 6 checklist items in the activity, and the student completes 4 of them, he gradebook will display a .67% for the grade item. We'd like it to be all or nothing. The student would have to check all 6 items to earn the point. Anything less than 6 is a 0.
Thanks or any help you can provide.
Once the first checklist was complete the one and only item in the second checklist (i.e. the first checklist itself) would be marked as complete. So, the score for the second checklist would be either 0 or 1.
Maybe a bit fiddly to implement, but possibly less confusing than adding another setting to the checklist module to cover this use case ...
Is there a plan to bring this over to the mobile app?
Cheers
