Using Moodle Course Reports to Track Student Engagement
Moodle LMS has a variety of course reports, such as course participation report, activity completion report and logs. Course teachers can adjust multiple parameters, and filter different data by course activity, by student, by a designated time period, in order to fit their needs in tracking students’ engagement in different stages of the course. This workshop will demonstrate how to generate the course reports to track the student engagement.

In addition, we will introduce a bilingual text-mining platform which helps teachers understand students’ learning status in pre-teaching, post-teaching or during the teaching process from their forum postings.
