Reporting, Analytics, and Data Quality¶

Why This Module Matters to You¶

This module helps you perform reporting, analytics, and data quality tasks in a way that is consistent, evidence-based, and safe for live Moodle users. The focus is on what you need to do, what to check, and how to explain your decisions.

What You Will Be Able to Do¶

Use Moodle reports and logs to answer common support questions.
Recognize report filter, date, timezone, and completion criteria issues.
Identify data quality problems that affect administration decisions.
Prepare concise evidence for academic and support stakeholders.

Topics You Will Practice¶

Logs and activity reports.
Completion and participation evidence.
Inactive courses and users.
Data quality checks.
Report interpretation notes.

Hands-On Lab¶

Interpret sample report outputs and write an evidence-based response to a learner or instructor support request.

Your Evidence of Completion¶

By the end of this module, you should have:

A completed checklist or decision note.
Screenshots or written observations from a non-production Moodle site where available.
A short explanation of the risk, validation method, and next action.

Key Takeaways¶

Intermediate administration is about repeatable workflows, not just knowing where menus are.
Every meaningful change should have an owner, rationale, validation method, and rollback path.
Logs, reports, and stakeholder confirmation should be used together before declaring an issue resolved.
