There are five report types available in Moodle: Logs, Live Logs, Activity report, Module Participation and Statistics. (Also, if you have completion tracking enabled, Activity completion.) Tracking information via these reports can be useful because it allows you to check:
- Which students have accessed a particular activity (perhaps to send a reminder to those who haven't);
- What activities a particular student has accessed (to monitor progress);
- Which students were in any part of the course on a particular day and time;

Accessing reports
- In your module, click the 'Actions' (cogwheel) menu
and select 'More...' - Scroll down to Reports
...
- Logs are best used to refer to raw logs showing who has been accessing the module and what they were doing on a particular day or right now (Live logs). You can download the Log as an Excel document.
- Live logs from the past hour - raw logs showing who has been accessing the course most recently and what they were doing.
- The Activity report is best used to check overall views of resources and activities. E.g. if you notice a particular resource or activity has had minimum activity and was last accessed two weeks ago you may want to send out a message via 'AnnoucementsAnnouncements' to all module participants notifying them to take part/view it.
- The Module Participation report is best used to refer to individual activity for a particular resource or activity in terms of views and participation. From this report you can 'Send a message' to e.g. students that have not participated to remind them (see below for how to do this).
Choosing the criteria for the reports
...
- The Statistics report gives an overview of activity on the module, which can be adjusted according to user type and time period. NOTE: This takes up a lot of resource in Moodle and can take a while to run.
- The final report is Activity completion - This lists students and which activities they have completed. This can be downloaded as a spreadsheet - really useful to manipulate completion data. NOTE: This is only available if you have Completion Tracking enabled in your module (this is enabled on the Edit Settings page, see below).
