Analytics Graphs are one of the recent blocks in Moodle for visulizing extisting data like activity and results of the students. Analytics Graphs are primarily tools for ongoing courses so due to the students activity minor tweaks can be done on a realization.
When the course is finished collected data can be reviewed and see whether there were exercises that ended up being to difficult and need alteration on a next realization.
Analytics Graphs suits best for a course that has duration of two periods and the amount of activities is between six and twelve.
Analytics Graphs block is added like other blocks on a course. Turn on editing mode and click add a block link from bottom right hand corner.
By default the block looks as follows
