Description

This plugin will automatically send email reminders for Moodle calendar events in a timely manner.

Reminders are very useful for both students as well as teachers to recall their scheduled events and activities before the actual moment.

Latest Feature (with plugin v2.5)
  • The plugin provides a way to customize the email header/footer with desired HTML content! This means now you can add your site branding to those email reminders too. (See updated screenshots)

New Features: (in v2+ which works in Moodle 3.5 or above)

  • Ability to send reminders after event completed for overdue students
  • Ability to enable/disable and schedule reminders per activity
  • Explicitly reminder enables: By default no reminders will be sent unless teachers enable them in course level.
  • Reminder email messages when calendar event created/changed/removed
  • Prevent sending more email reminders once a student has completed the activity
  • Added timezone/location to the email due dates
  • Support for course category events
  • Ability to customize email header/footer with the branding of the site
  • Additional cron task to clean old reminder data
  • Send reminders only to students who can submit the assignment
Features:

  • Supports site, course, activity, user, and group calendar events
  • Ability to customize the reminder schedule globally
  • Ability to customize enable/disable reminders per course
  • Ability to select reminders eligible user roles per calendar event type

Prerequisite for plugin v1.5.1 or prior:

  • Your moodle site must enable logging to make the plugin work properly.
  • The Cron job should be enabled 
  • Cron job should not be lagged to send reminders for custom schedules which has tight schedules.
