I expect to update this to Moodle 3.9 ASAP.
We're finding this plugin really useful, thank you. Just wondering if you have any plans to update it for Moodle 3.9?
Can I use this to limit or block the amount of time a student spends online in a class?
Hola Aday. Se tiene en cuenta el tiempo dedicado dentro de los paquetes Scorm? Gracias!
Hello,
One student spent 3 hours of his time in Moodle, but only counted 53 minutes. The "Limit between clicks (in minutes)" setting is 60 minutes.
What's wrong, can you please help?
Regards,
Antonio
Edit dedication_form.php and change 150 to your desired max value in this fragment of code: for ($i = 1; $i <= 150; $i++) {
Hello, is there a way to increase the "Limit between clicks (in minutes)" above 150?
Hi, the best way to achieve that right now is to export dedication time to Excel sheets and track there the dedication time.
Hi Aday:
Thank you for volunteering your time and sharing your helpful work with the Moodle community! Very useful tool for instructors and for students--many times a student is unaware of their work habits and the Course Dedication tool provides this useful metric. For any future versions, I was wondering if there was a way to track students based on meta-course enrollments (for example, if they were enrolled in a medical program and had meta-enrollments or cohort enrollments in a group of courses, to track their time across those cohorts and/or meta-enrollments).
Thank you again for your contribution, and I wish there was a way we could get you more support and funding!
Hello!
Please, can you upgrade this block so that it can be used in the site page or in course pages?
Thanks in advance.
I have uploaded an updated version of the plugin to support up to Moodle 3.8. However, I must say that the module was working with Moodle 3.8. without doing any change.
I only do a minor change to support themes based in Bootstrap 4. If you have any issues don't hesitate to publish them on Bitbucket issues tracker.
Also I must remember to everyone that this is a free project and I accept any help in form of pull request to solve the issues reported on Bitbucket issues tracker. Usually the plugin updates were sponsored by the CICEI center. Borja and me worked in the CICEI for few years. But for the last 4-5 years, I updated the plugin whenever I have been able to do it.
Does anyone know if this plugin will work in Moodle V3.8? I know this shows that the plugin only works for V3.5, however we are using in in V3.6 without a problem but we're about to upgrade and don't want to lose this functionality.
This plugin seems to be abandoned by the authors, no update since July 2018 & no reply to a multiple messages in over a year.
I really think a feature like this should be part of the Moodle Core, it's so frustrating to have to rely on plugin authors who've lost interest.

Any updates planned for Moodle 3.8?
