Reports & logs
Moodle provides many different types of reports that help you to monitor student engagement and performance. Users with editing access in a Moodle course can view and download this data via the Reports tab in the course navigation.
Activity completion and course completion reports require completion tracking to be enabled within the course. See the Completion tracking guide for more details.

Course participation report
The course participation report generates a list of who has participated in an activity, and how many times. It can be filtered by role, group, or action (View or Post).
You can use the report to send users a message; for example, you might wish to send a reminder to users who have not interacted with an activity.
Logs
Moodle provides log data at the site and course level. This data can be accessed and downloaded as activity reports. You can see what pages the students accessed, the time and date they accessed it, the IP address they came from, and their actions (view, add, update, delete).
