The Moodle Dashboard
in
As an active XBOX gamer I really like the XBOX Gamercard that allows you to view your score and game progress and compare this with other users.
In fact, I liked the idea so much that I built a Moodle version.
The Moodle dashboard keeps a running total of the messages you send and receive, along with forum posts and blog entries. Users receive points for completing surveys and questionnaires, uploading assignments, taking quizzes etc... Points equate to a star rating system similar to that of eBay.
The user type is based upon log activity. The more active you are in the log table the greater the user type displayed on the dashboard.
Students at our college are now all competing for Moodle points to compare with their friends.
I have since added some extra fields so that we can award Moodle points manually. This is useful if we want to award points for a competition or for attendance.

using your Dasboard
Hi Lewis,
is there a way to use your Dashboard code already. For our school it doesn't matter, if it needs hard coding.

At the moment it looks at all the third party blocks and activities we use to generate a score. If you install it on a site without all these plug-ins it will give all sorts of errors.
I am working on a block version of this that will work on the core Moodle activities.

your Moodle points system
your Moodle points system sounds great! Is there a way to use/test your code already? It doesn't matter, if it needs hard coding.

Hi
I saw a Dashboard on the ilite website. They were using Flex to show all the Users and Courses in quiet a lot of detail. Are you looking to expand you Dashboard the same way?

I'd like to expand my dashboard but not like the one by iLite. Mine is simply for the student (end user) not site admins.
I do like the work by ILite though, it's very nice.
Have you ever thought about sharing this ?
I really liked your moodle dashboard and bar. I wondered if you had ever thought about sharing them with the community.

As it stands, the dashboard is a hard core hack and not ready for a proper Moodle release. However, I am working on a proper Moodle block.
Moodle Bar
I love the Moodle Bar and would love to know how this is done. Let us know when you make that block!
