I would like to know if you have improved the reporting.
That is, if you have also integrated a log that records all user activities while browsing the course.
It is one of the fundamental characteristics to be accredited by the ministry for courses recognized with educational credits.
Grazie e ciao

Hi,
I am sorry to inform you that we do not have the features you have requested yet. For now, you can use a session log plugin.
