Please refer to these notes about course reports before editing this page.

Settings > Site administration > Reports

The Report menu allows the teacher or administrator to look at course and site logs, statistics, and other useful reports. The exact menu the user will see in the Reports sub menu system will depend upon the context and the permissions of their current role.

Note: Technically speaking a log is a special type of report, it lists a series of events. However it is also a report.

Site reports and logs

Site reports are available to users who have been assigned administrative role (privileges). This page will focus upon course reports, but both Sitewide reports and course reports are similar in the way they operate.
