The Resume Button plugin adds a contextual "Resume where you left off" button to Moodle courses, helping learners quickly return to their last activity or start again after completion.
It supports two levels of tracking:
-Course-level Resume Button: Takes users to their last accessed activity in the course.
-Section-level Resume Button: Displays on each course section, helping users jump back into the last viewed activity within that specific section.
When all activities in a section or course are completed, the button label changes to "Start Again", redirecting users to the first available activity.
