To answer the question of “how much time has the Learner spent in the course” and to ensure a minimum amount of time is reached, Lambda has developed a set of plugins to assist with tracking time spent learning. The plugin set is designed to provide insight into the amount of time a Learner is actively spending in courses and activities. Along with these insights, the Time Spent Learning plugin set provides the functionality to check if a Learner is present, restrict access to activities based on time thresholds, and to report the results using the Lambda Zoola™ reporting and analytics solution.
Time Spent Learning: Keeps a record of the student’s activities by running calculations on the log table. You can then compile a report of a Learner's time spent in a course/activity.
Time Tracker: Enhances the time tracking by adding additional logs to the Time Spent Learning record. This plugin tracks the confirmation of a Learner’s continued presence through the use of an alert window—failure to click through the window pauses the time tracking.
Time Spent – Activity Restriction: Offers the ability to restrict Learner access to specific course activities until a minimum time is reached, or locks activities after a maximum time is reached.
Course Time Tracker Block: Provides the Learner with a visualization of how much time has been accumulated into the course, along with options to display required minimum time and maximum time of courses and activities via a course block.
