On our 2.6 Moodle instance, Problem occurs when:

• The EA block is added to the course
• Teacher switches role to student
• Teacher tries to return to normal role

The result is:
Teacher user will not be be able to access the course page again - that is it won't load at all, and may bring up a programming error message in the browser.

We fixed by disabling the plugin block. I realise that a version 2.6 release of this plugin has not yet been released, but thought it might be helpful to know. Of note, problem does not occur in Moodle 2.6.2.

Did you remember to make the first column something unique in your call to get_records? Duplicate value '2' found in column 'userid'.

Already brought up: Adding 'Assign' module.
New: All grade items should be in activities
Message system should be integrated with canned messages that get progressively more aggressive as the student continues to maintain a high risk or as risk increases. Realizing this requires a lot of work but the "teacher dashboard" approach (used by Blackboard and Desire2Learn) has absolutely no data backing up its ability to improve student outcomes. Direct messaging to the student has substantial data (Course Signals, Purdue).

Should I fork, start over or contribute?

Hello,

First of all I want to say thank you for your work with the plugins.
I would like to suggest that it would be good if MOODLE_INTERNAL check will be added in

For some reason I can't get the weighted assessment activity scoring to make as big a contribution to people's risk assessments as I would expect. For example, I have a students who has many assignments overdue, but the weighted assessment activity score is still only 16% (though the raw score is around 41%). With a weighted forum score of 3% (15% raw) and weighted login score of 24% (59% raw), that comes out to a total of 43%.

If I were making a rough estimate though, I would estimated this student's risk of failing to be somewhere between 50 & 75%. There are other students in similar situations.

My settings are:

Indicator

Assessment Activity 40%
Forum Activity 20%
Login Activity 40%

Assessment Activity

Overdue Grace Days 0
Overdue Maximum Days 1
Overdue Submitted Weighting 80%
Overdue Not Submitted Weighting 100%

Forum Activity
New posts per week No Risk 0.5 Max Risk 1 Weighting 30 %
Read posts per week No Risk 1 Max Risk 0 Weighting 20%
Replies per week No Risk 0 Max Risk 0 Weighting 0%
Total posts per week No Risk 1 Max Risk 0 Weighting 50%

Login Activity

Expected logins in the past week 4 Weighting 20%
Expected logins per week 4 Weighting 20%
Expected average session length (seconds) 1200 Weighting 10%
Expected time since last login (seconds) 259200 Weighting 40%
Session Length (seconds) 3600

What, if any, settings can I tweak to make missing assignments count more heavily against students? If none, is there perhaps an issue with the code itself, that is causing it not to weight things heavily enough?

Hi,

After installing the engagement block in Moodle 2.3.2 and enrolling a student in a course we get an "Error reading from database" with the following in the PHP logs.

Default exception handler: Error reading from database Debug: SQLState: 42000

Error Code: 102

Message: [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near 'LIMIT'.

                      SELECT      rawdata
                      FROM        mdl_engagement_cache
                      WHERE       indicator = N'assessment'
                        AND       courseid = '117'
                        AND       timestart = '1349272800'
                        AND       timemodified > '1349245063'
                      ORDER BY    timemodified DESC
                      LIMIT 1

[array (
0 => 'assessment',
1 => '117',
2 => '1349272800',
3 => 1349245063,
)]

This is appears to be an invalid MS SQL statement.

It seems that the Quiz activity is the only one to be counted in Assessment Activity. At least it's the only one appearing in individual Engagement REports.
What about Lesson ? Assignments ? and any other activity that can have a score in the Gradebook (Questionnaire, etc)?

The "Login Activity" reporting part does not work in Moodle 2.8 with any combination to the setting and weightings available for the Login Activity. Are there any plans in the works to update the plugin to work with 2.8?
I love this plugin and think it is super helpful for instructor at my institution. The plugin is still useful as is, but it is not working at 100%.
Thank you!
