Installing and configuring

Block Use Stats

Installation

This block installs using the standard plugin install process:

Unzip the archive in the /blocks directory of your moodle implementation

Browse to the Site Administration / Notification screen to finish install.

Configuration

The Use Stats block has several tuning parameters that may impact significantly the final time calculation result. You may have to qualify the way your users will mainly use moodle to choose accurate values for tuning.

Actually, the component assumes some corrective actions when detecting a possible but non explicit session break, in order to help reflecting more accurately the reality. You have to choose both key values for:

The max admissible gap over wich the block can assume the user was deconnected.

The time bonus agreed on the last event of the implicit session.

Tuning both parameters depends on:

Is your content very granular and needing learners to browse frequently in moodle

Is the work organised to favour long working sessions rather than a lot of short ones.

See the global settings section of the technical guide for detailed information about general tuning.
