What is Checklist?
Checklist is an activity (with a related block) which allows users or instructors to check off items on a course as they are completed and thus have a customized record of progress.
For more detailed information, see the Checklist activity documentation.
How is it set up?
The Checklist activity
- With the “customized this page” turned on in a course, add Checklist from the Activity chooser.
- Give it a name and, if needed, a description.
- Decide on the settings:
- Do you want to allow users to add their own items?
- Who should be allowed to add updates?
- Do you want due dates appearing in the calendar?
- Do you want to allow instructors comments?
- If you want an email sent out when the list is complete, whom should it go to?
- Do you want to automatically add all course items to the checklist? Or just those in the current section? You must choose one or the other in order for items to be displayed.
- Do you want completed items to be automatically checked off?
The Checklist block
- Once a checklist has been created you can display its items in block form.
- With the “customized this page” turned on, click Add block and select Checklist.
- Click the configure icon to select which checklist to display (if you have more than one) and, optionally, which groups.
How does it work?
- Users see either a Checklist activity or block or both in their course.
- If they click the activity, they see a list of tasks with a progress percentage:
- If users have been allowed to add their own items they will see a button to do so:
