VideoTrack

VideoTrack is a custom Moodle activity module designed to embed videos and accurately track students' viewing progress. It allows teachers to condition activity completion on students watching a minimum percentage of the video, ensuring complete engagement with the educational content.

• Flexible Video Sources: Supports embedding videos via external links (including YouTube, YouTube Shorts, Heygen, and other direct URLs), as well as direct MP4 file uploads.
• Real-Time Progress Tracking: Automatically monitors and records the student's highest video playback position in real time.
• Resume Playback: A smart resume button allows students to return to the exact minute and second where they left off, ensuring a seamless learning experience across multiple sessions.
• Playback Control (No Forwarding): Prevents students from fast-forwarding or skipping ahead through parts of the video they have not yet watched.
• Target-Based Completion: Set a custom completion threshold (e.g., 80%) where the activity is automatically marked as completed once reached. Setting the target to 0 enables free viewing with unrestricted navigation.
• Detailed Progress Reports: Provides teachers with a comprehensive dashboard showing each student's highest playback percentage and current activity completion status.
