Participation report

A participation report for a particular activity can be generated by a manager, teacher or non-editing teacher (or any other user with the capability report/participation:view) in Course Settings > Reports > View course participation report. Participation reports:

  • Generate a list of who has participated in a given activity, and how many times.
  • Can be filtered by role, group, and action (View or Post).
  • Allow individuals or groups users e.g. those who have not participated) to be easily messaged.

You can generate a participation report in Course Settings > Reports > View course participation report

The definition of View and Post for the selected activity type will be given on screen.

For example:

  • Forum View: View Discussion, Search, View Forum, View Subscribers
  • Forum Post: Add Discussion, Add Post, Delete Discussion, Delete Post, Move Discussion, Prune Post, Update Post, Subscribe, Unsubscribe

An extremely useful feature of the participation report is the option to send a message to all users who have not completed a certain action. Other options with selected users are to add a note or extend enrollment.

NOTE: If a forum post is moved, the participation report will show incorrect results for the affected forums. For example, take a user who posted in forum A and had their post moved to forum B. In the course participation reports the user will still be listed as having made a post in forum A, but will not be listed as having made a post yet in forum B.
