How to Add Course Dedication Block and Generate Report v2

Note:  You need a Teacher or Manager access before you can perform this action.

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.

Teachers can use a tool to analyse dedication time within a course. The tool provides three views:

• Dedication time of the course: calculates total dedication time, mean dedication time and connections per day for each student.
• Dedication time of a group: the same but only for chosen group members.
• Dedication of a student: detailed sessions for a student with start date & time, duration and IP.
  

Step 1: Log into Moodle and open the course where you would like to add course dedication block.

(Note: Ensure that editing is turned on.)

Step 2: On the course page, open block drawer at the right side. 

Step 3. Once the block drawer is opened, click the option 'Add a block'. Click the drop-down menu and choose Course Dedication.  
 

Now, you have your course dedication block.

 

Step 4: To generate report, click the 'Dedication tool' and configure by selecting the range of dates you prefer to be calculated. Once done, click Calculate.

Step 5: Below is the sample Course Dedication Report of a certain course unit. To generate an excel report, click the "Download an Excel Format" button.

• To calculate Dedication time of a group click the group of users you preferred and repeat Step 3 and 4.
• To calculate Dedication of a student click the name of user and repeat Step 3 and 4.
