What has been going on recently on one of my moodle instances?

Just a quick check in.  Its summer, its a little slower, my customers are on vacation, a lot of them.  I wanted to get a quick glance at the site to see how busy things had been over the past month.

I logged into the admin role on the site and checked the Report Logs, which showed me the activity day to day, on the site.  Site admin | Reports | Logs.

I gleaned from the logs the following information

1. This customer uses mainly 4 courses, all English.  One for each grade 9-12.
2. One teacher handled three courses, while another handled one.
3. There is a lot of file uploading that goes on with the course.
4. There is not much use of native moodle quizzes, but I did find one quiz, with 22 attempts.
5. There is a BIG emphasis on assignments. 
6. The moodle gradebook is being used for the assignments.  The teacher provided nice feedback for her graded assignments.
7. Some assignments were hidden from students.  It looks like the teacher taking control of her course.
8. Some assignments were hidden after the students had completed the activity.  This is probably used to simply the course page.

The gradebook Full view is informative regarding how the teacher is using moodle activities.

This view shows us a couple important things

• A heavy usage of assignments and their total points avail.
• A slight usage of quizzes and their total points avail.
• A couple activities hidden on the course page - showing teacher controlling their course.

Finally, a glance at the course page shows us a couple important things

• The teachers uses dates to organize her content.
• The teacher uses a proprietary program, MS Word - she could use PDF.
• The teacher uses an external web site for some content, good.
• The teacher uses assignments and forums in her course, good.
