You can see what pages the student accessed, the time and date they accessed it, the IP address they came from, and their actions (view, add, update, delete).

  • You can choose to display the logs on a page or download them in text, ODS or Excel format.
  • If downloaded in Excel format, the course short name will appear in the file name:

Note: The log report page contains active links enabling you to access a student's profile page or a particular page that the student was viewing. The IP address link provides an estimate of the student's location.

Logs of site activity

A log of site activity may be generated by a site administrator in Administration>Site administration>Reports>Logs

The log can display all activities, site news or site errors, such as failed login attempts, and all levels.
