Use Reports to Track Course Activity
Moodle provides a variety of built-in reports that can tell you what participants have been doing in the course and when.
How to Access Course Reports
- Go to your main course page.
- Select the Reports tab from the course menu. If you don’t see Reports, it may be under the More tab.
- Select the report you want to see.
If you’re using Moodle 3.x, you can find the Reports link by clicking on the gear icon in the top right of the screen then selecting More…
Activity report
The activity report shows aggregate number of views for each activity.
Course participation
The course participation report allows you to see exactly what each course participant has done and how many times they’ve done it. The words “View” and “Post” are used in the course participation report. “View” is pretty self-explanatory: it means the user has looked at the activity. “Post” means the user has submitted something for that activity. For example, a user submitting a quiz or H5P activity would be considered a “Post” action.
Activity completion
The activity completion shows what activities each student has completed, based on the completion conditions that have been set for the activity.
Logs and live logs
Logs shows all activity for a specific activity and/or student. Live logs show log data from the past hour. Logs are most useful if you want to see everything a student has done in the course and when, though they’re not always the most understandable.
