The reengagement plugin provides a way for you to remind students to return to the course and complete activities.
The email is sent a specified period of time after a starting event, which may be enrolment in the course, or completing an earlier activity.
If the user has already completed the target activity, no email is sent.
You can also use this plugin to selectively release timed content in a course.
This plugin is developed by the Moodle Partner Catalyst IT

so... if you were using 3.10 you would see in our readme that the correct branch to use is "MOODLE_39_STABLE" so you would select MOODLE_39_STABLE in the branch drop list, which would take you to the url: https://github.com/catalyst/moodle-mod_reengagement/tree/MOODLE_39_STABLE and then hit the green code button -> download zip.
But.... Moodle 3.6 is not a supported release by Moodle so we don't support it anymore either - rather than spending time updating specific plugins like re-engagment you would be better to spend your time upgrading to a supported Moodle release.
Thank you for your response, it was very helpful. I went to GitHub (really should be on the Moodle site) and downloaded the latest version of Reengagement Ver 3.6.3. Moodle was already current at Ver 3.11.3 and no changes were made. There is a Test Course set up on my system and I verified my Reengagement Configuration, it was set as follows:
Notify user: After Delay
Notification delay: 1 Hour
Reminder count: 2
Reengagement duration: 5 Weeks
I performed a course reset and re-enrolled myself in the test course. Waited over three hours and received no notifications. As an experiment, I deleted the course and reinstalled it and repeated my steps. Much to my surprise Reengagement worked as expected. I received the first notification an hour latter and the second one two hours later. As a further experiment, I reset the course and once again enrolled myself. This time, Reengagement did not send and notices.
It appears that if the Reengagement app is configured properly and set up during the initialization of a course, it works. However, if students are removed and reenrolled or Reengagement parameters are changed it does not. My concern is that I have over 1,000 students enrolled in various courses and I made Reengagement changes. In reality I am set up for a 7 day delay, 3 reminders but set the duration to 5 min rather than five weeks and had to change this. I also noticed when a course is reset there is a Reengagement Item, but no options.
I’m not quite sure what to do at this point. I can send out manual notices on the original students and am waiting to see what is going to happen with new enrollment. Once again, thank you for your response.
I have the re-engagement plugin installed and it is working perfectly for reminding my employees to take their training! Very handy! I do have one slight issue. Sometimes our employees complete the course (SCORM) in a classroom based setting instead of through Moodle. If I do a completion upload via csv file, it will mark the course complete, but not the "activity" (the scorm file) that triggers the reengagement notices.
I've tried two different ways, using Course Completion and selecting the actual course as the target activity. It still triggers the reengagement notice.
Any ideas to stop the notifications if the course is marked complete, but not the scorm file?
Thanks!!!
Thanks for the plugin, its works well. My only issue is the email with csv to third party recipients is having some issue. The third party is receiving individual email for all student instead of 1 email with csv file. Is this the correct flow or any of my settings is wrong?
I might be missing something but the completion date for the Reengagement Activity does not update. I created it on the 28/11 at 17:28 with a "reengagement duration" of 1 week.
After creation, it displayed the message "This activity will complete at 6 December 2021, 5:28 PM. Makes sense so far.
But if I change the duration, the message remains the same whatsoever.
Am I missing something ?
Side note: I find the whole setup page extremely confusing and not user-friendly. The hover explanations really don't help. What is the re-engagement period?
I want to send a reminder email to students who haven't completed a given activity after a given date. Nothing complicated. Should I select the activity as the "target activity" or as the doc says "set that activity as an access restriction" ? What is this activity completion date displayed on the activity page and how is it used in the email sending? Is that my deadline for sending the reminders ?
Sorry for sounding harsh, but considering the feature, I think its setup could be much more intuitive.
the plugin works fine but I am having an issue and I would like to know if it is more about a bad config in my course or the reengagement activity plugin.
I have applied reengagement plugin and is sending email to the students with grade 90 but with 35% of course completed.
So, my question is:
Can the email be sent base on the user grade rather than the user course completed percentage?. Therefore, in the last example should not be send an email to that student.
Regards.
I would like to know why the plugin for Moodle 3.9 is not here in this page ? I found this link https://github.com/catalyst/moodle-mod_reengagement/tree/MOODLE_39_STABLE but the company who hosted our Moodle said that maybe is because the version is not validated by Moodle.org, so they want to test the plugin code and get paid for it.
Thanks for your help !
Regards
I could be asking a question that is obvious, or included in the documentation (but I cannot see it) but have tried to add this plugin (Reengagement 4.0) for Moodle version 3.9 (build20200615) and Moodle version 3.11+ (build20210604) and get the "Dependencies check failed for mod_reengagement
You must solve all the plugin requirements before proceeding to install this Moodle version!" when trying to upgrade via cmd line. I am just wondering where I need to look for failed dependencies? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help.
@DIana - sounds like a sensible company - always good to test and validate things before blindly installing them on your site. This is similar to what we do here at Catalyst when clients ask to have a plugin installed that we have not tested/used before.
