 Course Reports As a teacher we have access to some very powerful reports telling us what our learners have been doing in the course and when. To access these reports or logs we go down to the administration block and click the link Reports. We can see here logs and live logs, an activity report and a course participation report. You may have others on your Moodle depending on course and admin settings too. But let's just take a basic look at two of them. If we click Logs we can leave it as default which is showing us everything everyone has done or we can specify a particular participant, day, particular activity and type of action. We can also look at different types of logs. Teaching usually relates to what course teachers do that will affect the learning experience of their students. For example, updating a course section or grading an assignment. Participating usually relates to the student's learning experience such as posting to a forum or submitting to an assignment. And other might be updating a calendar or viewing a message, things which do not directly affect learning. So let's select a specific date and create and teaching and then we can see that on that day our teacher Sam set up a forum. Another report that we can see if we go over to the administration block and click Reports again is a course participation report. This is useful for seeing easily who has and has not been taking part in particular course activities. One of the activities we set up if we click the drop down menu was an Introduce Yourself forum and we need each learner to tell us a little bit about themselves. So if we look back one day and choose learner and post, we'll be able to see who's been active in this forum during the last day. And we see that Francis has posted but Mark has only viewed and not made a post. So we could tick the box to select Mark and send him a message as a polite reminder to participate more in the course. Or we can also select a number of learners and message them together.
