Video Tracker Packages

Video Tracker is a Moodle activity plugin that allows teachers to deliver videos and measure real learner engagement.

It tracks viewing progress, watched time, and completion conditions directly inside Moodle.

Video Tracker v1.0.0 supports Moodle 4.5 and later.

The activity supports multiple video delivery methods:

• Videos uploaded directly to Moodle

• YouTube URLs

• Direct external video URLs (for example MP4, WebM, or HLS streams)

Video Tracker ensures that:

• Expectations are clear

• Progress is measured fairly

• Completion reflects real engagement

This creates a more transparent and consistent learning experience.

Yes.

The plugin implements the Moodle Privacy API, including:

• User data export

• User/context data deletion

• Privacy metadata declaration

Your progress is tracked based on actual viewing time. As the video plays, your progress updates automatically in the background.

You don’t need to click any buttons or manually mark the activity as complete.

Each Video Tracker activity defines a minimum watch percentage (for example, 80% or 90%).

Once you reach that percentage, the activity is marked as complete.

The exact requirement is shown to the learner within the activity.

This depends on how the Video Tracker activity is configured:

• In some courses, skipping forward or backward is allowed

• In others, skipping may be limited to ensure full viewing

In all cases, completion is based on time watched, not on jumping to the end.

You can pause the video at any time.

When you return, Video Tracker will resume playback from where you left off.

This allows you to learn at your own pace without losing progress.

No. You can watch the video across multiple sessions.

Your progress is saved automatically each time.

Once you reach the required viewing percentage:

• The activity is marked as completed automatically

• Completion is reflected in your course progress and gradebook

There is no need for manual confirmation.

Video Tracker is designed to ensure fair and consistent completion.

Completion is granted only when the required portion of the video has actually been watched.

This protects learners who genuinely engage with the content.

In many courses, completing a video:

• Unlocks the next activity (quiz, assignment, or module)

• Moves you forward in the learning path

• Contributes to course or certification completion

The next step becomes available automatically.

Yes. When you complete a video, your progress and completion status are recorded accurately.

This ensures your learning effort is properly recognised within the course.

Yes — positively. Video Tracker:

• Reduces uncertainty

• Removes manual steps

• Creates a smoother learning flow

Tracking happens quietly in the background so you can focus on learning.

Yes. Video Tracker automatically creates a grade item mapped to watched percentage (0–100) and supports:

• Grade-to-pass

• Completion thresholds

• Automatic grade updates
