CourseStats
In our institution (Federal University of Lavras, Lavras, Brazil - in portuguese, Universidade Federal de Lavras - UFLA, we have an expressive amount of courses in progress (~ 1.7k in just one Moodle instance, called "Campus Virtual"). The sector that coordinates the activities related to the "Campus Virtual" administration is called "Diretoria de Educação à Distância (DIRED)". A question we have made to ourselves is: "how are all these courses being used by the professors?".
In our preliminary research, we have found three main types of usage:
- The course is simply used as a communication channel by means of the announcement forum (forum usage is not recorded unless it's a discussion created in the news forum);
- The course is used as either a repository of files or a repository of URLs to external resources; and
- The course is effectively used by means of several types of activities, such as Quiz, Chat, Lesson, Wiki, among others.
We believe that the knowledge about the courses usage types is important because this may improve the strategies of training and information dissemination about the resources available in Moodle. However, gathering the statistics of courses usage is not a trivial task, mainly when this is performed in a manual way; the last time we did that, it took us 16 hours of our precious time ;).
Hence, we developed "Courses Usage Statistics"; this is a Moodle report plugin that helps the admin to known how the courses are being used by users (e.g. as forum, as file repositories or as activities repositories). Feel free to use and contribute to this project by improving the plugin functionality or letting us to know about possible bugs existing in its code.
Important: this plugin only records information after it's been installed.

A curto prazo, você poderia desinstalar e instalar novamente o plugin. Contudo, saliento que os dados já cadastrados serão perdidos. Vou procurar uma solução para que a atualização do banco de dados seja realizada durante a atualização do plugin.
Até mais. Paulo.
Could you tell me if you have either a blank page or a page with the following message: "There are no courses statistics to be presented at this moment!"?
Best regards. Paulo.

there was no % per used courses and used courses data. What might be the problem? Any inputs would
be highly appreciated. thanks.
This plugin records information on demand, i. e., when a user interacts to her/his course, the data regard this interaction will be stored and showed. The plugin does not recovery information before its installation.
Best regargds.

Today, it shows 995 created courses. 297 are used and 698 are not used.
I think I have figured out that the "amount of created courses" is a count of all of the courses that are "visible" to students (correct?). But what makes a course "not used?" Is it based on any user *viewing* a course, or only students viewing a course, or it something else?
Thanks for your time and your contribution to the Moodle community.
