That’s what I asked myself. How many unique hits has our e-learning site had in the past month, or since the first of January this year. I know there is a block in Moodle that shows this information, but I wanted to see it on the Dashboard I am building.

So I set about fiddling with the date function in PHP, and wiped up the following to graphs

Hits per Month

Hits per Year

It’s not rocket science from a coding point, but visually it does help to immediately get an idea of how active the site is. I guess the next thing would be to click on a bar and view the users for that day, or the course. Or maybe view the most active courses……

Looks like I might be adding another graph to my Dashboard.
