One of the most overlooked features in Moodle, and also a very useful one is the ability to generate Course Overview Reports.
The Course Overview Reports are a record of certain actions a user partakes in within a course over a set period of time. These actions are divided into, “Views “ and “Posts”.
“Views” are when a user accesses, reads or downloads a Moodle resource or activity.
“Posts” are more active responses such as submit a quiz, submit an assignment, respond to a discussion forum etc.
The actions the user takes are captured in the Moodle site database, ready for counting when a Course Overview Report is run.
The list of modules a Course Overview Report can be generated include:
- Assignment
- Chat
- Choice
- Database
- Forum
- Glossary
- Hot Potatoes Quiz
- Journal
- Lesson
- Quiz
- Resource
- SCORM/AICC
- Survey
To obtain course overview reports you must first enable statistics in Administration > Server > Statistics.
You can choose to view reports of the most active courses or the most participatory courses over a certain time period. Results are displayed in a bar chart and in a table.
