Students Tracker

Maintained by Pierre Duverneix
This plugin allows you to list users who have not logged into a Moodle course for several days. It lets you configure thresholds beyond which users are listed as potential dropouts. The goal is to provide teachers with a quick way to identify absent or potentially disengaged students. It offers a quick access to the profile and messaging system of each listed user. The roles and groups of the tracked users can be configured globally and at the level of each block instance.

Hi Ricardo, great idea! You can check out the 1.1 version that makes use of the Moodle native messaging pop-up.

Hi David, thanks for the release ! I'm having some troubles using Github but I'm sure it will get better soon.
I'm maybe confusing things for the UI strings. I try to improve it.

It would be nice if, instead of linking to the user e-mail, the link directs to a pop-up window to send a message.

Hi Pierre. Thanks, things look much better now indeed. I was just surprised by actual UI strings - please see details in the tracker.

Note that it would help to refer to individual reported issues in the commit messages (so that it can be seen how the thing was fixed) and eventually close the issues. You may want to be interested in Github specific support for it via https://help.github.com/articles/closing-issues-via-commit-messages/ (although simply mentioning the issue #number in the commit message helps too).

You are cleared to land now, welcome to the Plugins directory!

Hi David. Thank you very much for your useful advices by pointing out the issues. I made some changes, trying to keep in mind all of this. I hope it's better now !

Thanks again Pierre for sharing the block. I like the idea of it and many teachers will find such overview tool really useful. However, there are several implementation-related issues that do not allow me to approve the plugin as-is at the moment. I reported details into your tracker and I am marking the plugin as needing more work for now. Thanks for you patience with the review and approval process.
