Moodle Monday: The Moodle Progress Bar Block

The Progress Bar is a time-management tool for you and your students. It shows progress in activities/resources and is colour coded to quickly see completed/viewed activities. Tutors can select which pre-existing activities/resources are to be included, and they can be ordered by times/deadlines or their order in course. An overview page shows tutors the progress of all students and combined progress on My home page.

Moodle offers a variety of other options for enhancing student engagement & tracking progress, including Grades, Conditional Activities, Activity Completion, Course Completion, Open Badges, Course Reports, and Progress Bar & Engagement Analytics plugins. You can find out more about these other options in our blog post: Tracking Student Progress & Engagement in Moodle.

If you are interested in how some of these approaches might benefit you and your students then please contact TEL@yorksj.ac.uk.
