Checkmark
Checkmark module
In the Checkmark activity, students announce in advance which of the given examples or tasks they have prepared for a classroom unit and can present if necessary. Teachers can assess students in the activity based on their ticks as well as on the actual presentation and also record attendance/absence.

Usage
A possible teaching scenario could look like this: In a weekly recurring exercise, each unit is accompanied by practical examples. Teachers publish the respective examples and achievable points in advance via the checkmark activity. Each week, students prepare the planned exercise examples and tick in the checkmark activity which of them they can solve and present on the blackboard. During the classroom session, individual students are selected on the basis of their ticks to present solutions to the exercise examples. At the end of the unit, teachers can assess all students in the checkmark activity and also award points for their presentation and record their presence/absence.
There is an additional Checkmark report available, which provides teachers and students with an overview of the details of all checkmark activites in a course.
Documentation
You can find a documentation for the plugin on the AMC website.
Bug Reports / Support
We try our best to deliver bug-free plugins, but we can not test the plugin for every platform, database, PHP and Moodle version. If you find any bug please report it on GitHub. Please provide a detailed bug description, including the plugin and Moodle version and, if applicable, a screenshot.
You may also file a request for enhancement on GitHub. If we consider the request generally useful and if it can be implemented with reasonable effort we might implement it in a future version.
You may also post general questions on the plugin on GitHub, but note that we do not have the resources to provide detailed support.
we are sorry to hear about your problems with our plugin. If you have any issues, I would recommend to contact us via github and report the bugs, as you did just a couple of hours ago . We are eager to hear about your use cases and especially the bugs you’ve encountered while using our Checkmark Module. Especially because we (5 universities in Austria) are using this plugin since a couple of years; the Vienna University of Technology even since 2007.
If your version of the Checkmark Module is buggy, I would recommend updating to the newest version on a test-system and if the bugs still occur to contact us so that we can fix the bugs as soon as possible. We always try to fix bugs as quickly as possible, and we also try to keep the communication via github up-to-date. Even the bug that you reported in 2015 was a high priority issue for us, but neither you nor we could reproduce it. Bugs that we can’t reproduce are super hard to fix, so it is always useful if at least the reporter can reproduce them.
Thanks for reporting the two new issues on github - we will do our best to check them and fix them timely.
Have a great day.

you can expect a new version of the Checkmark plugin that has been tested to work with Moodle 3.6 in approximately two weeks.
