Re: How to find total time spent in each course by user by Pam Blasius - Friday, 20 February 2015, 12:36 AM We use this path for individual users/courses: Go to any course and click down to the page where you see the Enter button to start the course. Instead of starting the course, look at the top of the page.

As the name suggests, this Moodle plugin tracks the time each learner spends in a course. It also actively checks that the learner is still present, with an alert window.
This Block allows Teachers to see the estimated dedication time in a Moodle course by the Students. Note that only Teachers see this Block (not Students), so login using the Teacher account and the Student account to see the difference.
Moodle cannot detect if you opened other tabs or window unless it has a proctoring software to monitor your computer. As it is, it cannot detect any activities on your computer apart from the active tab you have. However, when using proctor software, Moodle can detect your computer activities.

If you are a student, note that your instructors can see whether and when you downloaded course readings, viewed links, submitted quiz answers or assignments, or posted to a forum in the courses they are teaching. They cannot see usage data about your other courses, and other students within a course.
How to view logs in Moodle Go to Settings > Site Administration > Reports > Logs. Select your desired logs by choosing options from dropdown lists. Click “Get these logs” button to view the list of logs.
Moodle allows instructors to request reports detailing which resources and activities of a course have been accessed, when, and by whom. Moodle produces several kinds of reports: Logs – generates a filtered report showing information about a particular activity or student.
Logs: Moodle provides log data at the site and course level. This data can be accessed and downloaded as activity reports. You can see what pages the students accessed, the time and date they accessed it, the IP address they came from, and their actions (view, add, update, delete).
Online proctoring: This method can either involve automated proctoring programs that monitor your behavior through your webcam, or a live proctor who watches the class through their webcams in person. Automated programs can be unreliable, and often identify innocent behavior as signs of cheating.
Some examples of student-centered tracking include:Homework turn-ins.Objective mastery percentages.Proficiency levels.Quiz scores.Unit test scores.Time spent reading.Behavior.Be creative! Stay in tune with your students!
In project management, a progress tracker refers to a real-time visual representation of the status of a project. Your managers and team members will instantly know the status of different tasks and where most attention is needed.

Moodle Proctoring is a Quiz Access Plugin to capture the user's picture via webcam to identify who is attempting the Moodle Quiz. It will capture the picture automatically every 30 seconds and store it as a PNG image. It also captures the screenshot during the quiz.
We do not collect IP addresses for the purposes of tracking students. Moodle have produced a really helpful screencast on using logs in Moodle to support student engagement.
If it is on Moodle without installing any type of proctoring software or program, then NO. However, if you post answers or questions from the exam to Chegg, Course Hero, etc, they will find you and charge you.
In some cases, it could be case for concern. By default, Moodle does not prohibit multiple logins from the same user account. If an admin is suspicious, they do have the Browser session page tool. They can find detailed information of student logins, including data such as dates and IP addresses.
Bala - I do not think that it is possible to track how long a user is really spending online. You would need to add some custom checks that assured that users are interacting and that would likely be annoying and seen as an interruption and likely distract the work/learning that the student is doing.
Ah, but how long did student X spend on SImple Past assuming he started reading at 20:10 and stopped reading when he closed his browser window without logging out?
There is a plugin intended to do something like this, the Use Stats Block http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=840&filter=1? though I haven't actually got it work on 1.9.4.
Is there a block for 2.02 that tracks and records the time a student spends in a course?
You can't track the time they spend in the course - how do you know that they haven't pulled up a page and then gone out to walk the dog?
I write continuing education courses that are approved by the number of hours and a 6 minute automatic timeout is set so people can't just leave and clock time in the course.
I don't like it either but the US government makes the rules and we just have to comply. Browser doesn't close, nothing deleted; moodle just logs off.
I agree with Howard and I wrote it also in a thread where someone asked for a means to measure time spent inside a lesson.
The only thing that would make the remotest sense is to look at the logs and total up a user's activity from one log entry to the next on the condition that the interval is less that (in your case) 6 minutes.
I do have a quiz at the end of each lesson to break it up and each lesson is about 3-5 minutes so it moves at a good clip. I emailed the Lukasz, the person who developed the Timestat block to see if he can upgrade the block for 2.0. I also requested a quote from the Moodle.com site. Thanks Howard...
