Checklist

@Deb - there are currently no plans to extend the mobile functionality of the checklist. I'm unlikely to look at it in my spare time, but I might be able to look at it as a paid project through my employers. Please get in touch if you have a budget for this and would like a quote for the time it would take to implement.

This is a great plugin and works well on laptop. We are looking to use the checklist for workplace skills observations and need our solution to be mobile friendly. Is there any progress on the mobile app for teachers to be able to mark off items and add comments on the app - without having to leave and go to the browser?

Hi YveSabine - glad you're enjoying the plugin.
There isn't currently any support for filtering the list of students by checklist completion status. It sounds like a sensible thing to add, but I'm unlikely to get around to doing it in my spare time. If you know a developer who can work on it, then I'd be happy to review a patch to integrate it back into the official release.

A very very helpful plugin. You make my life clearly better.
Juste a question, I'm looking tu filter my list of students. Is it possible tu hide the students that have made all the tasks ?
Thank's a lot.

Hello
I have had problems when saving changes in the activity edition with the following message:
"You do not have permission to view this checklist
Would you like to log in now with a full user account?"
I am from an admin account and I have validated from different roles or courses and it does not allow. Does anyone know the cause or have had the same problem? Thank you

Hi Davo Smith,
Thanks for the reply and information. As referred by you and as suggested in the documentation, I did find a way to configure the 'Grade to pass' from the grade book setup for the checklist activity but when trying to configure Receive Grade -> Grade to pass as part of Activity completion criteria it still gives me the same error message (This activity does not have a valid grade to pass set. It may be set in the Grade section of the activity settings.) preventing from using 'Pass Grade' as a criteria. Please let me know if I am missing something.
Regards

Hi Shashank,
The 'grade to pass' can be configured for a grade within the gradebook - see https://docs.moodle.org/en/Grade_items
For some activities, it is possible to set the grade to pass on the activity settings page, but the checklist activity does not support general 'grade settings' (as it doesn't work with anything other than 'point' grading), so it doesn't include the code to show the 'pass grade' on its own settings page.

Hi,
For this activity as part of its completion criteria, I could see an option called 'Required Pass Grade'. When trying to use this option, I see an error saying "This activity does not have a valid grade to pass set. It may be set in the Grade section of the activity settings.". But I don't see a section for grade where I can configure a grade to pass. Am I missing something. Any inputs or suggestions will be really appreciated.

Aaron,
It is possible to set the checklist to be marked as complete once 3 items are checked-off. It is also possible to have a certificate that is only available once the checklist is complete.
Unfortunately, you'd need some custom development to get the last part of that (probably a custom certificate display element that was populated by the checklist).
If you have a budget for development and want to get a quote on this last part, then send me a private message and I can put you in touch with my employers at Synergy Learning

Is it possible that a customised checklist, once complete be integrated into a course. Example: Three tasks need to be completed. Once completed a certificate (using custom certificate plugin) can be issued with the three tasks named.
is this possible?
Thanks

Sharon, whilst at the Global Moodle Moot in September, with some great help from a couple of Moodle HQ Devs, I managed to get a basic mobile version up and running. Unfortunately, it only works with some of the basic features and prevents access to other features. I need to spend a few hours to get it ready for release, but, sadly I've not had a free weekend since to finish it off. I might have time later this week, but I'll have to see how it goes ...

This is a fantastic plugin and solved a major problem for us. We have a number of personal development courses learners need to complete and this gives us complete visibility of that. One question - is there a plan to get this on the mobile app? It is currently unsupported and learners then need to log in via a browser to see it. Would be fabulous if we could get it on the app as well.

This is a fix to https://github.com/catalyst/moodle-filter_checklist ...
File: filter/checklist/filter.php
Function: function filter()
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if (empty($COURSE->id) || $COURSE->id == 0) {
return $text;
}
// ifnotinactivity
if (substr($PAGE->pagetype, 0, 4) == 'mod-') {
return $text;
}
if (stripos($text, '{checklist:') !== false) {
----------------------------------------------------------------
When editing a checklist, and using the filter, the arrow keys to move around checklist items do not work. So code just tells the filter to not filter the checklist in the description when editing the checklist.
I know this is not a fix to this plugin, but the filter for checklist is not even on stored on the moodle website, and I thought it would just save people time and frustration.

Susan,
That's not something that the code currently supports. The 'completion percentage' is only used for calculating whether or not the student has ticked-off enough items to be counted as 'complete'. It is not used to calculate the progress bar or to calculate the grade sent to the gradebook.
It might be possible to add some sort of 'target number of items' (or something like that), but I'm unlikely to be undertaking any specific development work in the near future.

Have been using this plugin and it is mostly great for my purposes! One thing that I am wondering is about the grading and how it is handled in the gradebook. My use case is the following: Say I have 20 items in the checklist, and the completing settings are that students need to complete at least 10 of these. Currently one can set a "maximum grade" for the checklist. I want maximum grade points to be awarded to students who have completed 10 items, and a percentage of that if they have completed less than that (so half the grade points if they have completed 5 items etc.). Is this possible? (I know the grades could be calculated and shown in the grade book from the individual items independently outside the checklist, but it would be neat to just do it through the checklist whereby each item is worth so and so many points and students only need to be concerned with the checklist in the gradebook)
