Moodle Educators – How to notify students for upcoming deadlines using Events Reminders plugin

-

Moodle LMS allows you to customise it as per your institutions online training requirements. With more than 2000+ plugins in the contributed Plugins directory, it is easier for anyone to extend the Moodle’s functionality. In this post, we will see the Events Reminders plugin which allows you to automate sending reminders based on the calendar events.

The Events Reminders plugin creates reminders for Moodle calendar events and sends them automatically to relevant users in a timely manner via Moodle messaging interface.

Salient features of the plugin are:

  • Reminders can have customised delivery times/methods according to event types.
  • Users can control how they receive calendar reminders in their messaging preferences.
  • Reminders are automatically sent

You can download the Events Reminders plugins from the official plugins directory here. You can follow this guide to learn how to install a Moodle plugin.

Events Reminders Plugin Configuration

You can choose specific activities for which the reminders will not be sent if an event is generated. You can also choose only visible calendar events or all calendar events. The reminder email can also be completely customised with your own email header & footer and subject.

You can also choose a schedule for sending the reminders like 7 days, 3 days or 1 day before any deadline. This can be quite helpful for reminding the students about the upcoming deadlines. The best thing is that you can completely customize the schedule & other things for Site Events, Course Events, User Events, Activity Events, Group Events etc.

Here is a screencast about the Event Reminders plugin:
