The reports on this page will allow you to filter course actions up until a year ago by user, date, resource/activity and action.
You can use this tool to see what a particular student (or member of staff) has been doing and when they last accessed the course, or a particular resource or activity.
For example, to see the last access for a particular participant, select their name from the 2nd drop-down menu that says All Participants.
In the 3rd drop-down menu, where it says Today and the date, choose All days.
To see the last time the student accessed the course, leave the remaining filters as they are and click Get these logs.
A list of all the actions the student has undertaken within this resource/activity in the past year will be displayed. These actions can be filtered using the 5th drop-down menu, where it says All actions.
The last time the student accessed this activity will be displayed at the top of the list.
By default, the information appears on the webpage, but you can also choose to download the filtered logs as a tab-delimited text file, excel file or ODS file (the ODS extension is for open source spreadsheet files like in Open Office).
To download the Logs, on the results page scroll to the bottom and choose the type of file you would like to download from the drop-down menu underneath 'Download table data as' and click Download. The default option (Comma separated values text file) is a good choice, as this can be opened in Excel or other spreadsheet software.
