This is an activity module for tracking time spent by Students (or other users) in a Course or in a related group of Courses.

Online activity is automatically tracked.
Users may also (optionally) record "offline" sessions of work.

The module will show aggregate report by user, or detailed report at user's session level.
Printable versions of all reports are available.

It also supports activity completion rules by minimum time in the Course.

By defaults, it tracks only activity in the Course the instance is in.
You may change this behaviour by module instance configuration. You may track all Courses in the same Category or Courses "meta-linked" to this Course.

By default, it tracks only Student's activity.
You may choose whose activity will be tracked by modifying Role Capabilities.

By default, only Teachers, Managers and Administrator may see other report of other user's activities.
You may change this behaviory by modifying Role Capabilities.

The Module is currently translated in English and Italian.

Documentation and an FAQ (small - work in progress) are available in English only.

Note
this module is based on the idea of the old Register module for Moode 1.x, but it is not an update of this module.
You cannot upgrade or restore Register data from Moodle 1.9 using this Attendance Register module.

Please note that this module is not related to Attendance module.
Attendance Register (this module) automatically calculates time spent online in Moodle's courses, while Attendance module allow teacher to explicitly certify attendance to a specific "offline" session.

Important note about Moodle >2.7 compatibility

The newest version of this plugin supports the new logging system introduced by Moodle 2.7

Potential privacy issues

By modifying default Roles Capabilities, you may allow some monitoring of other users activities, beyond normal Moodle's restrictions (i.e. only Teachers, Manager and Admin may see other user's reports)

Buongiorno Lorenzo,
Hallo Lorenzo,
I would like to know if an update for later version of Moodle is preview or if you know about another plugin that does register student activities.
Thank you
David.

Hi David,
I handed over the maintenance of this plugin to CINECA elearning SUPPORT years ago. I've no idea whether there are any plans for upgrading it.

Hi, we have been using this plugin on 3.5 without any problems but now need to update our site to 3.9 and are hoping we can continue use of this plugin. Will it work on 3.9 or are there plans to release a version for 3.9?

Excellent plugin with much-needed functionality. It has helped students pace themselves on our courses as well as respond to time requirements from our authorities. Would be great to be able to upload a file as evidence for an offline session.

Hello, I am using this plugin for moodle 3.8, first of all thanks to everyone who worked and coded this plugin. I need something like this in this plugin. I have a course, like an in-house training, there are 5 topics in this training and 1 resource on each subject. For example, I added the Occupational health and safety training video in subject number 1 as a source. I have added an exam activity for subject # 2 as a source. In this plugin it shows the total time spent in the course. I want to see how many hours spent on each source as in the example above? In other words, how many hours spent in the occupational health and safety training in topic 1? Is it possible to see this?

hello, can the plugin be set up so that it's possible to add comments for the online sessions as well? Or so that it is possible to only track sessions manually so the users can manually enter their online and offline sessions. We need them to be able to write what they did online. Right now we are asking them to create a fake offline session just before the online session and write it there but it would make our lives easier if they could just add a comment on the online sessions.

Fantastic plugin to help track students progress, especially during this crazy year of COVID! Can also confirm works great on 3.8.....hopefully you can update to 3.9 when you have time....

Thank you for sharing your great work with the Moodle community!

Hello, the cron doesn't work with the new version 2023.05.04.01. I have open an issue https://github.com/CinecaElearning/moodle-mod_attendanceregister/issues/10 to fix the bug.
Thank you in advance

Buongiorno, anche io ho problemi con la versione 2023050402. Il cron esegue il task, ma il registro non si aggiorna. Se invece eseguo il ricalcolo immediatamente oppure scelgo "alla prossima esecuzione del cron" tutto funziona regolarmente. Anche io ho segnalato il problema: https://github.com/CinecaElearning/moodle-mod_attendanceregister/issues/11. Grazie in anticipo per la risposta
