Analytics and Recommendations block uses charts and tables which are colour coded so students can quickly see they participation.
Students can see single analytics about their participation in the course. Teachers can see single, comparative analytics and global analytics (all students together) too.
Morover, the block shows recommendations for students about what activities they should work to improve their final grade. It shows too a estimate final grade according with a reference course.
The Analytics and Recommendations block was created as Final Degree Project of Cristina Fernández Sampayo. It was directed by Dr. Florentino Fdez-Riverola and Dr. Miguel Reboiro-Jato.

The fist time that you add the Analytics & Recommendations block in a course, you can't choose a 'reference course' you should select 'none' and and finish the process. You will be able to see only Analytics. After that, when you add the Analytics and Recommendations block in other course you will be able to choose the fist course.
The reference couse can be any course where you added the block Analytics and Recommendations before (and you finished de Initiate monitoring).

howto export this statsitics to word or excel !!!! can you help me
I'm checking the plugin at the moment.
The plugin uses "user" for DB field name which is a reserved word virtually everywhere except for MySQL, so you can run the plugin on MySQL only.
Also the plugin is creating a separate DB table for each course it monitors!
Some of our clients have instances with thousands of courses, that would be horrible.
Totally not recommended other than on small instances running with MySQL.
So for 300 courses you'll end up with 600 additional DB tables.
In fact 1 is already an immediate fail.
Ridiculous.
If you have 3 forums in a section, it will track only one of them.
Ok, that's enough for me. I even cannot fix it, to make it usable, the plugin should be completely redeveloped.
Good luck.
¿Habrá esperanza de tener una versión de este lindo bloque para Moodle 2.3 y 2.4 ?
This is a very good plugin Christina! Well done!
I just replaced the prefix for the tables created in the database and works like a charm for 2.3 versions of Moodle! It's only 5 files to be editied... I think it should work in 2.4 version as well but I haven't tried it...
Greetings,
John
Is someone maintaining this plugin? Will there be a 2.5 version?
I was hoping John Dimopoulos could share what he changed to make it work with Moodle 2.3-4. Thank you John!
I really like the idea behind this plugin… I have completed my own research looking at student activity. I look forward to more work on this module.
Thank you,
Randy Stamm
