Checklist quick guide

What is Checklist?

Checklist is an activity (with a related block) which allows students or teachers to check off items on a course as they are completed and thus have a customised record of progress.

For more detailed information, see the Checklist activity documentation .

How is it set up?

The Checklist activity

• With the editing turned on, add Checklist from the Activity chooser.
• Give it a name and, if needed, a description.
• Decide on the settings:
  • Do you want to allow students 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 teacher 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?
  • 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 editing 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.
