Hi all,

Latest version uploaded just now finally supports mod_assign in the assessment indicator. Thanks go to eugeneventer for his pull request.

Hi Adam,

Our Moodle is using Oracle 11g, so I got the following error when I go to course->report-engagement analytics:

Debug info: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended

SELECT rawdata
FROM m_engagement_cache
WHERE indicator = :o_param1
AND courseid = :o_param2
AND timestart = :o_param3
AND timemodified > :o_param4
ORDER BY timemodified DESC
LIMIT 1
[array (
'o_param1' => 'assessment',
'o_param2' => 482,
'o_param3' => '1335844800',
'o_param4' => 1401127527,
)]
Error code: dmlreadexception

The fix I have put in mod/engagement/indicator/indicator.class.php is:

$rawdata = $DB->get_field_sql('
! SELECT rawdata from
! (SELECT rawdata
FROM {engagement_cache}
WHERE indicator = ?
AND courseid = ?
AND timestart = ?
AND timemodified > ?
! ORDER BY timemodified DESC)
! where rownum = 1', $params);

Not sure whether you can integrate it into your plugins or not. Just wanted to let you know.

Thanks,
Bei

Adam,

Other than that error, the engagement analytics plugins version 2.6 is working fine in our Moodle 2.6.2 .

Thanks for the updates Adam. I now have the mod, report, and block running on Moodle 2.6. I think these plugins are useful and have great potential so thank you for contributing them.

I have a number of dummy accounts enrolled on a course for testing purposes, they have example info on their profile pages and profile pictures (edited by me as an admin) but I've never logged in under those accounts. The course has forums, chats, and wikis on it.

From the sitewide config page: moodle/report/engagement/manage_indicators.php?contextid=1 I see that it only monitors Assessment (presumably pushed grades?), Forum, and Login activity. Are there any plans to include other core Moodle activity modules?

Also, it'd be nice to have some documentation collated somewhere so that it's easier to get started and to understand how it works, e.g. How does it calculate the percentages it shows?

Thanks in advance

Hi Matt,

There are no immediately plans for me to make additional indicators right now. That said, nothing stopping people making their own to share, like Dan Marsden did for the attendance module:
https://github.com/danmarsden/moodle-engagementindicator_attendance

As for developer documentation, I did write some up when this was released, you can find it here:
http://docs.moodle.org/dev/report/analytics/api
It includes a couple basic examples of things that I hope are helpful

Hi, I am wondering is there any more recent documentation available for writing additional plugins. I really need to have an indicator based on downloading (opening) course related material as well. While this is not strictly engagement in our case it is an indicated of success as we use Moodle to host all class handouts and activities as well. Would someone be able to post me in the correct direction? Thanks!

Hi, I have installed engagement analytics in moodle 2.6 (mod, block, report).
The results for assessment and login are exact, while in the forum section of the report users either have 100% risk (even if they have read posts), either 69% risk that doesn' t change no matter if some students have made many posts or if i change the settings (e.g. Min risk 0.1 (posts, read, etc), max 0). The problem (standard percentages that don't differentiate for each user) exists for all the forum indicators (posts, total posts, replies).... Thanks!

good afternoon

I would like to help me with this error that I get in my moodle , moodle my version is 2.8.5

@Jose Mesa: That's odd. Did the plugin install correctly? Can you see the capability listed in the report/engagement/db/access.php file?

Adam Olley and install the three plugins correctly there are no errors but now my problem is how do I genererar the report, I do not get the tab Engagement analytics reporting could help me with that please Thanks .

I am running Moodle 2.7 with the Engagement Analytics installed. The Login Activity is not reporting any information, although I know the students are logging in. Is there any way to get login activity added back into the analytics? Although the assessment activity is important, I really would like to know how the login activity is affecting the grades.

Any chance this one will make it to the 2.8 branch?

I am running Moodle 2.7 with the latest Engagement Analytics installed, v2014042902. It can take hours for the Assessment Activity and Forum Activity numbers to update following student activity. How quickly should the Engagement Analytics update when an assessment or forum post occurs? What triggers the update?

Note that the Login Activity counter does not work for me. EA always reports "Never logged in" for every student, no matter how many logins have occurred. Thanks for any help!

Love this plugin, but the "Login Activity" reporting part has not worked since we upgraded to 2.8 with any combination to the setting and weightings. Are there any plans in the works to update the plugin to work with 2.8? It would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hello! I installed block_engagement and report_engagement to Moodle 3.3 just fine, but when I try to install mod_engagement, I get the following error:

Downloading mod_engagement ... OK
Validating mod_engagement ... Error
[Error] Unsupported syntax detected in version.php file [$module]
Installation aborted due to validation failure

Could you tell me what I should do? Thank you so much for your help!
