Introduction

The main goal of this plugin is to facilitate the work of learning plan managers. It provides an overview of user learning plan, without leaving the page to get information related to this learning plan (such as rating in courses, user evidence, etc.) It also offers statistics by learning plans and competencies. For learning plan templates with a very large number of learning plans (generated from cohorts), this plugin is the best solution, with its advanced filters, it allows you to filter the learning plans by several criterias.

Plugin configuration

Role and permissions

This plugin can be used in system or category context. The user using this plugin in the category must have these permissions:

  • moodle/competency:competencyview
  • moodle/competency:coursecompetencyview
  • moodle/competency:usercompetencyview
  • moodle/competency:competencygrade
  • moodle/competency:planview
  • moodle/competency:planmanage
  • moodle/competency:templateview

Note that planview is always set in user context level. Thus, we must assign a user to a cohort using Site administration/Users/Permissions/Assign user roles to cohort so he will have the "moodle/competency:planview" of every member of that specific cohort (must wait for the next cron execution to take effect).

Color configuration

To fully benefit from the reports, a color must be associated to each value of the scale. To set the scale values colors, you must have "moodle/competency:competencymanage" permission. Here are the steps :

  • Go on "Home / ► Site administration / ► Competencies / ► Competencies scale colors"
  • Choose a framework competency
  • Choose a scale from framework competency
  • Set the colors values using the ColorPicker
  • Save the changes

Colors configuration

That's it, now the colors are set and ready to be used in the reports pages.

Monitoring of learning plans page

In a category context or system context go on Reports / ► Monitoring of learning plans

Filter

Filtering helps us find a user's learning plan. Here are the steps:

By learning plan template

From a learning plan template, we can filter learning plans.

  • Select a template
  • From "Student using this template", select a user
  • click on "Apply"

You will see the learning plan of the student selected, and you can navigate between learning plan based on that template. If there is no student selected, the first student from the template will be displayed.

Filter by template

By clicking on "show more...", you can have more options to filter learning plans by scales values.

There are two options for using scales values filter

  • Filtering learning plans by scale values from competencies rated at course level
  • Filtering learning plans by scales values from competencies rated in the plan (Final rating)

When filtering by scales values, the number of rating in the student list will be displayed:

Filter rating number

By user

We can choose a particular student by typing his name in the user picker field in order to retrieve his learning plans

Filter by student

We can also make a reset on single competency.

    I am not 100% but I believe that the permissions listed should be changed from moodle/competency:usercompetencymanage to moodle/competency:userevidencemanage in the documentation.

    Hi,
    I think the plugin will work for 3.4 and 3.5. I invite your to test the plugin on the preproduction environment for those versions. I will be pleased to fix bugs if you send me your feedbacks.
    For the next version it will contains some interesting features like ( tags, comments , export ...).

    This is great work Issam. It should be made core. What Moodle seriously lacks is site wide reporting of student progress. This is the sort of data that engages senior management (or it does at my college anyway!). Looking forward to the new version. I have my fingers crossed for 3.6 compatibility!

    I just realized that this is the plugin we desperately need in our organization, so please release a version compatible with 3.6 (and newer)!

    Nice Plugin! However I am just able to get the pie chart generated for competent part and not the non-competent part. Can anyone help me to resolve the same?
