Beacon is a curated reporting and analytics suite for Moodle - 26 hand-written, audited SQL reports across People, Progress, Assessment, Engagement, Compliance and Operations. Every report answers a real question an administrator or RTO actually asks. A grain-aware query engine prevents the row-multiplication problem that makes core Moodle's report builder silently produce wrong percentages, so your completion rates never exceed 100 percent.

Why This Beats The Core Report Builder

Most Moodle reporting runs JOIN-heavy queries that multiply rows silently. A learner with three quiz attempts appears three times, inflating completion rates past 100 percent with no warning. Beacon's grain-aware engine knows whether your question is about people, learner-and-course pairs, or course-level rollups, and writes the SQL accordingly. Row-multiplication is architecturally impossible, and role isolation is enforced inside the SQL itself, not just in the interface.

Key Features

• 26 audited reports — hand-written SQL across People, Progress, Assessment, Engagement, Compliance and Operations, each designed for a specific question.
• Live dashboard — 10 stat cards and 6 KPI gauges served from a precomputed hourly cache for instant loads.
• Server-side filter engine — active-filter chips show exactly what is applied, and any value is click-to-filter straight from a column.
• Export anywhere — one-click CSV export and a branded PDF download for reports and dashboards.
• Saved views — store a report with its filters and reopen it in one click.
• Scheduled delivery — email reports on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule through your site's existing SMTP.
• Role-aware in SQL — teachers are hard-locked to their own courses and learners to their own data inside the WHERE clause, with per-user cache keys that prevent cross-user data bleed.
• Grain-aware engine — choose learner, enrolment or course grain, and fan-out data is rolled up correctly so counts and percentages are always right.
