Course dedication
NOTE: This plugin has a new maintainer.
Thanks to the University of Canterbury for sponsoring the upgrade work to support Moodle 4.0 and the new report builder API.
Introduction
This block allows to see the estimated dedication time to a Moodle course by the participants of the course.
How dedication time is estimated?
Time is estimated based in the concepts of Session and Session duration applied to Moodle's log entries:
- Click: every time that a user access to a page in Moodle a log entry is stored.
- Session: set of two or more consecutive clicks in which the elapsed time between every pair of consecutive clicks does not overcome an established maximum time.
- Session duration: elapsed time between the first and the last click of the session.
Features
This block is intended to be used only by teachers, however the block can be configured to show dedication time to students too.
Teachers can use a tool to analyse dedication time within a course. The tool provides three reporting methods:
- Dedication time of the course: calculates total dedication time, mean dedication time and connections per day for each student, which you can filter by course group if required.
- Dedication of a student: detailed sessions for a student with start date & time, duration and ip.
- Report builder source: The plugin includes a custom report builder source to allow for site-level reporting to be generated.

¿cómo puedo crear un informe como los hacía en la versión para moodle 3.11?
Uso moodle como profesor sin acceso al módulo de administración para poder crear informes personalizados. Sin embargo, podría pedirlo al administrador.
Por otro lado, tengo acceso a mi moodle personal donde si soy administrador. Quisiera ayuda para configurar los informes para que me dé información tal como lo hacía en la versión para moodle 3.11 ya que actualicé a 4.4 y he perdido esa función y no puedo ver qué tiempo dedicaba cada alumno al curso.
Espero que me puedan ayudar para crear el informe. Gracias

Good morning,
How can I create a report like I used to in Moodle 3.11?
I use Moodle as a teacher without access to the administration module to create custom reports. However, I could request it from the administrator.
On the other hand, I have access to my personal Moodle where I am the administrator. I would like help configuring reports to get information as I did in Moodle 3.11, since I upgraded to 4.4 and lost that feature. Now I can’t see how much time each student spends on the course.
I hope you can help me create the report.
Thank you.

Yes, we have installed the plugin because I can add the block and I can see my dedication time but I can't see the dedication time of my students. Why? The block shows "Complete report". When I click on it, I only see my connections, not my students' conecctions.
Is there anything incorrect set up?
Other option is I don´t know how to see the students' report.
Thanks you
Congratulations! It's a great plugin! But I'd like to know if we can to get the informations not only of the students and tutors, but of the teacher too, and how can I do this.
I am using the new version of Dedication with custom reports.
The time spent on a course is provided in the standard format when downloaded as a CSV, such as 1 hour 16 min, 2 hours 10 min, or 6 min 50 s, etc.
Is it possible to change the format somewhere so that it is displayed as 00:00:00 (HH:MM:SS) to allow summing up the durations for a participant in the export table?
Direct conversion from the table is a nightmare to program, as it's impossible to account for the different formats provided.
Dans le fichier blocks/dedication/classes/local/entities/dedication.php
en remplaçant la ligne 101 par :
$format = gmdate("H:i:s", $value);
ou alors en la remplaçant simplement par :
$format = $value;
pour obtenir le nombre de secondes
Penser à vider les caches.
I'd like to suggest as improvements:
1. the possibility of filtering a user without the need for them to be in a group;
2. inclusion of a filter where we could select users by role (students, teachers, tutors, etc.).
one setting im not sure about is the "Session limit" setting. What does it exactly? Cant seem to find anything more explaining than the text below "Session limit for the report page filters" and i cant find out what it means.
Anyone who knows what i does?
may I ask if there is a 4.5 version in your plans?
