EduMetrics 📊"

EduMetrics is a Moodle reporting plugin that brings together engagement metrics for students and tutors in a simple, visual way.

⚠️ Important

• EduMetrics only starts collecting and displaying data from the moment it is installed. It does not backfill or import historical activity prior to installation.


• Right after installation, it is normal to see empty metrics until new events occur (resource views, forum posts, submissions).

🚀 Motivation

• Practical visibility: consolidate resource access, forum interactions, and activity submissions to simplify tracking.


• Decision support: quickly identify active vs inactive participants and take action (messages, interventions, academic support).


• Daily focus: events are aggregated per day, enabling period filters and engagement trend comparison.

⭐ Key Features

• Course list with quick access to the participants report.


• Per-participant metrics: resource access, forum interactions, activity submissions.


• Status indicator (Active/Inactive) and contact link when inactive.


• Filters: by role and by date range -️.

📦 Requirements:

• Moodle requires: 2020061500 (Moodle 3.9+) 🧩

   • Forum interactions (discussion creation, posts)
   
   
   • Activity submissions (e.g., assign)
   
   
   • Status: Active (≥ 1 interaction) or Inactive.

🧱 How it works (technical summary)

• Moodle event observers record interactions in report_edumetrics_participation.


• Records are aggregated per day (event_date) and by courseid, userid, and roleid.


• The report consolidates per-participant metrics and applies role/date filters.
