(Of course, if you have access to the server folders you can see the logs there... but if you can't...?)

Hi Luca,

Some activities might tell you when an student has done something.

For instance, a forum posting will always have the posting time. Same goes for answers in Q&A, MCQ and Assessment.

You could use these times to calculate student times perhaps?

Are you looking at one particular activity?

Thanks

Ernie

Ciao Ernie, and thank you.
I'm not looking at a particular activity, I just would monitor when, after pressing 'finish' button for some activities (eg, assessment tools or noticeboards, which I will set as "one attempt activities"), a student thinks the sequence is not well built or well organized and wants to come back to a previous activity. But, after what you have written, except for a final students questionnaire, there's no answer for this inside LAMS gradebook or monitor.
So (no) problem, I'll learn to read server log files... :O
Thanks a lot Ernie
Ciao ;)
Luca

Hi Luca,

Sorry for taking a bit to get back to you on this. But I had to do some test to check on this.

The time spent on an activity is calculated from the time the user starts the activity until it finishes it (presses the "Next activity" button).

After, if the student comes back the time he spends in the activity does not get recorded as the activity has already been set as "completed"

Thanks

Ernie
