Introduction
The Engagement Analytics block provides information about student progress against a range of indicators. The block has been constructed to allow additional indicators to be developed to extend it's current functionality. It was developed as part of a NetSpot Innovation Fund project with Monash University (Project manager: Phillip Dawson), with code by NetSpot developers (Ashely Holman and Adam Olley).
From the project information: "We intend to implement a block that teachers can add to their Moodle course that will provide them with a quick graphical snapshot of which students are at risk."
Currently the plugin has three indicators: - Forum activity - Logins - Assessments
Each of these indicators measures different metrics which are combined using configurable thresholds and weightings to produce an overall risk for that indicator. The individual indicators are then combined together (with more configurable weightings) to produce an overall risk for the student on that course. The risk is reflected in the block as a percentage (100% being maximum risk of failure, 0% being minimum risk of failure). The colour codes change from green to red as the risk increases.
The Engagement Analytics block is only visible to teachers.
