Moodle progress and attendance guide

The Moodle Checklist allows a lecturer to create a Checklist for their students to work through. Students should tick off each item on the list as they complete it. The resulting progress can be tracked by the lecturer. As a student, you can view your own progress on the progress bar which shows how far through the checklist you have managed to get.

Other features include:

• List of items you should complete, with the option to include module activities and resources in that section or the whole module, and / or manual items
• Checklist items can be ticked off by students only, lecturers only, or both.
• Students can add their own items and notes to a Checklist.
• Lecturers can set due dates for Checklist items.

• You will see either a Checklist activity or block or both in your module.
• In the Checklist block, you will see the progress bar move along as when you complete your checklist activities.
• If you select the Checklist activity, you will see the actual % of progression. If there are compulsory and optional activities in your checklist, you will see two progress bars showing the breakdown.

If allowed, you can manually tick off any items you have completed.

1. To do this, select the checklist activity on the module homepage. You will see a complete list of tasks included in the checklist activity.
2. Tasks displaying in black are required items. Tasks displaying in blue and italics are optional items.
3. If the checklist is set up so that both student and lecturer can tick off checklist items, you will see two sets of checkboxes for each item. The left one is for your lecturer, the right one is for you to tick off the item. Both you and your lecturer have to tick off an item in order to mark the task as complete.
   • If the checklist is set up only for students to tick off checklist items, you will only see one set of checkboxes for each item.

If allowed, students can add their own manual item(s) to the checklist.

To do this:

1. Select the checklist activity on the module homepage
2. Select the button Add your own items.
3. Select the Add icon above where you want to add your new item.
4. Enter the name and description (optional) of your item. Then select Add.
5. Select Stop adding your own items.
6. Your new item will appear. Only you can view and tick off this item. It is not visible to your lecturer.
7. To update or delete your own item, select the Add your own items button again, either select the Edit icon to update or the Delete icon to remove your item.
