Moodle Plugin:

Remaining Time

Shows the remaining required time of a lesson

What is it?

The lesson "Remaining Time" block is a simple block that can be added only to lesson pages to show the time remaining before the user has met the time requirement of a lesson. This provides better transparency to users whether they have met the that requirement in the lesson.

How to Use It

When the plugin is installed, it does not automatically appear. You must add the block to the page where you want it to appear.

To add the block:

  • As an administrator/author, navigate to the course.
  • Turn on editing by clicking "Turn editing on".
  • Navigate to the lesson you want to display the "Time Remaining" block.
  • At the bottom of the left-hand menu, click "Add a block", and select the "Remaining Time Block" option.

The "Remaining Time" block will now appear on this lesson.

Remember, this block is configured to only display on lesson pages. So, if you navigate to another type of page and try to add it, it will not appear as an available block to add.

Installation

Download the plugin from the releases page and install it using the Moodle admin interface.

There are no required configurations. The customization just has to be installed.
