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 noticed the teacher view of the progress bar shows not only the percentage, but also the number complete out of the total number of activities. The student view shows only the percentage, as seen in the link below,

Is there anyway that the student can view the number of activities completed out of total activities? This would be a great feature for the student to view.
Thank you again for this great tool.

I asked a question on Feb 12, and have not received a response yet. I'm hoping by asking a second time I will get a response. I think I might have asked the first time when there was another discussion going on. Anyway here is my question.

You cannot add the item count without changing the code for the plugin. It should be a fairly straightforward bit of code to change, if someone wants to take a look at it and submit a patch. Otherwise, I will try to get around to looking at it at some point (I can't promise when).
Thanks for the response. I assumed you just missed the original comment. We have a Moodle Partner. I'll have to see if they'd be willing to take a look at it. If you do get a chance to look at it and patch it please let me know. I can't thank you enough for this tool.
We are using this plugin with Moodle 2.5.4+ and have noticed that an error is logged every time the cron runs:
[08-Mar-2016 10:46:02 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Class 'mod_checklist\local\autoupdate' not found in /home/mysite/public_html/mod/checklist/lib.php on line 695
On this test server the error logging level is: $CFG->debug = (E_ALL | E_STRICT);
Turning off error logging suppresses the error in the log.
Is there a fix for this?
require_once($CFG->dirroot.'/mod/checklist/classes/local/autoupdate.php');
In addition, we need a separate list of to-do's per group, rather than one shared for all groups/students. Moreover, they should only be able to see progress within their own group, not in other groups. We will now solve this by making a single-activity course, with only a checklist, for each group of students. In that way, they can manage their own to-do's and also have a sense of group progress.
However, this is quite a detour. Davo, do you have any suggestions on how we can do this easier? I'm happy to make the edits myself, but some pointers would be nice. Afterwards, we would also like to add assigning to-do's to specific users, etc, but that's for later
