Online users block

Block online users.gif

This block shows the users who have been logged into the current course for a period of time which is set by the site administrator (by default it is 5 minutes). Note that even though a user may have been logged into a course within the last 5 minutes, it does not necessarily mean that this user is still online.


  • Bold type indicates a teacher
  • If you hold the cursor over somebody's name, you will see how long ago that person was last "seen" in the course
  • If you click on the envelope icon next to somebody's name, you will be able to send a private message to that person (using Moodle's messaging system)
