Identifying at-risk students before they drop out requires early warning signals. In a large Moodle course, a student can be 2–3 weeks behind without a trainer noticing — until it's too late to intervene effectively. The My Students Progress block gives every trainer a real-time dashboard showing the progress, grade, last login, and activity completion status of every student in their courses. At-risk students are highlighted automatically, and trainers can send targeted messages directly from the dashboard without switching to another tool.
Why your RTO needs this
Student retention is both a quality metric and a revenue driver for RTOs. Losing students mid-course wastes enrolment, assessor, and administration costs — and fails the student who needed the qualification. The My Students Progress block makes proactive student support operationally feasible at scale: trainers can see 50 students at a glance, identify the 3 who are falling behind, and reach out before the situation becomes critical. For ASQA, it also demonstrates that your RTO monitors student progress and provides timely support — both Standards requirements.
Key Features
At-Risk Highlighting
Students who haven't logged in within a configurable threshold, have falling grades, or are behind on completion are automatically highlighted in red.
Progress Heatmap
A colour-coded matrix shows every student's completion across every course activity — identifying exactly where progress stalls.
One-Click Messaging
Send a Moodle message to any student directly from the dashboard — with templated outreach messages for common at-risk scenarios.
Last Login Tracking
See when each student last logged into Moodle — a simple but powerful early-warning signal for disengagement.
Multi-Course View
Trainers teaching multiple courses see all their students in one unified dashboard — not one view per course.
Common Use Cases
- 1Identifying and contacting students who haven't logged in for more than two weeks before they officially disengage
- 2Supporting trainers managing large self-paced online cohorts where individual progress monitoring is otherwise impossible
- 3Meeting ASQA requirements to demonstrate that student progress is monitored and support is provided when needed
- 4Improving completion rates and retention across Certificate and Diploma online delivery programs
