Checklist is a Moodle activity that allows teaching staff to create a checklist / to-do list / task list for their students to work through. The academics can monitor all the students' progress, as they tick off each of the items in the list. Items can be indented and marked as optional. Students are presented with a simple bar showing how far they have progressed through the required/ optional items and can add their own, private, items to the list. This is a gradable activity.
Major features of Checklist activity include:
- Choose whether students or teachers can check-off items
- Students can add their own notes to their checklist
- Teachers can comment on an individual student's items
- Import list of current course activities and automatically check-off as activities completed
