If a student requires more than the headline certificate and would like to record details of the activities they have carried out, this can be done as outlined below:

First, you need to add the following into the course.ini file:

[environment]
ShowStudentTracking=1

If there is already an [environment] section, just add the second line to it.

Now, whenever a student finishes (whether an online- or offline-student) they get some extra bits added to their learning record. It adds two things:

1. The same text, which ultimately gets uploaded to the 'tracks' section of the web site. It looks a bit like this:

Details:

• Handwriting:
  8:45 am [66], left after less than a minute ,
  2:34 pm, left after less than a minute 
• Personal writing:
  8:45 am [66], left after 10 minutes
  total time logged in 0:17:20

(Remember, there is already a more student-friendly version being displayed). The advantage of this is that if the student hase done any tests, their scores will be logged here as well.

2. If a student is an online student and have done the initial assessment, you also get a listing of their currently assessed skills, which looks something like this:

Skills assessed: 

• R=E1
• Rs=E3
• Rw=E1
• W=E1 
• Ws=E1

As you can see, although very useful for tracking/debugging and monitoring offline students, we do not switch this option on automatically as it is not particulary student friendly.
