  "shortDescription": "Per-unit and per-attempt participation evidence for any Moodle course, exportable to CSV. Real start and finish timestamps and engaged time-on-task, read from durable tables so records stay complete under short log retention. For RTO audits.",
  "fullDescription": "Standalone or connected setup\n\nThis plugin works by itself. If it asks for LMS Labs credentials, enter your site's Site ID and API key; see https://lms-labs.com/pricing.\n\nUsing several plugins? Install the free AI Grader Central Config plugin to enter credentials once for compatible plugins, and the free AI Dashboard Quick Links block for one dashboard with settings, docs and updates.\n\nParticipation Evidence That Survives Log Purges\n\nStudent Activity and Participation Evidence gives you per-unit and per-attempt participation evidence for any Moodle course, ready to export to CSV. It records real start and finish timestamps and engaged time-on-task, and it reads durable activity tables rather than the standard log - so the record is complete across a learner's whole enrolment, even on sites with a short log-retention window. Built for VET and RTO audits.\n\nWhy This Beats The Standard Logs\n\nMoodle's standard logs are typically purged on a short cycle, so by audit time the participation history is gone. This block reads the durable activity tables that are never purged on that cycle, so your evidence stays complete no matter how old the enrolment is. No AI, no external calls, no credits - just reliable evidence.\n\nKey Features\n\n- Summary and Detail views - see participation per unit and drill into per-attempt records.\n- Real timestamps - genuine start and finish times plus engaged time-on-task, not just a last-access date.\n- Durable data source - reads activity tables that survive short log retention, so evidence is complete.\n- Search and sort - search records and sort by any column header.\n- Filters - narrow the view to the learners, units or periods you need.\n- CSV export - export the evidence for audit files in one click.\n- Role-aware access - controlled by the block/studentactivity:viewreport capability.\n\nWho It Is For\n\n- RTOs and TAFEs that must evidence learner participation for ASQA audit.\n- Compliance staff and trainers verifying engagement and time-on-task.\n\nRequirements And Compatibility\n\n- Moodle 4.0 to 5.x.\n- No AI account or credits required. The plugin makes no external API calls.\n\nGetting Started\n\nInstall via Site administration > Plugins > Install plugins, then add the block to a course via Add a block > Student Activity and open the report.\n\nDocumentation And Support\n\nFull documentation is at https://lms-labs.com/docs/student-activity. Support is at support@lmshostingservices.com.\n\n## Pricing\n\nThis plugin is available on the Moodle Marketplace for **50 Credits ($5 USD)** (one-off). An LMS Labs account (free) is required to use AI features.",
