A message from Xi'an Jiaotong Liverpool University in China

[Sophia-Xiong]

Hi,
Thanks for sharing this great data analytics plugin and we found it very useful! We want to get in touch with you, but can't find your contact information on the web pages, so the purpose of leaving a message here is merely to catch your attention and hear from you earlier.
Please let me introduce my school, my department a little bit first. I'm from Xi'an Jiaotong Liverpool University of China. Here is our official web site if you're interested: https://www.xjtlu.edu.cn/en/ . My department's name is Center for Education and Technology. The Moodle-based teaching and learning platform in our campus is introduced, deployed and maintained by our team. We also keep an eye on all new features, plugins released in Moodle community and get the useful ones deployed ASAP in our platform to keep enhancing the functionality of it. We have been working with some software providers related with Moodle around the world and we have very good relationships. Last week my manager found your "Learning Analytics" plugin and he was so excited to see the features it implements are what we desire for so long. He immediately downloaded it and installed it in the test environment and it worked very well. I was told about it the next morning and I tried its features on my local machine and added some codes in this plugin to create a new “attendance” report and it is displayed nicely on the dashboard. (I’m a new PHP programmer by the way.)We plan to install this plugin in our production environment in the beginning of the coming semester in this September and in the near future part of my work will be focusing on this plugin and develop more reports with it to suit the needs of the teachers and students. I also want to share my codes because I think what’s useful to us probably is useful to some other people as well.
We really want to get in touch with you and maybe talk with you some time on the computers if you’re willing to. Hope you can share with us some necessary knowledge about how to create good reports with this plugin. Many thanks in advance.

Hi there!

Thanks for your kind feedback. More documentation on how to add reports will follow. As a bare minimum, you only need the preview.php file to create a preview in the dashboard and the plugin file itself (example) for the page itself.
