The Progress Report Block is installed on the SD50 Moodle as an option for teachers to use. The purpose of this guide is instruct teachers how to add this block to their courses should they wish to use it.

This block will allow teachers to bulk-send emails to all your students in a Moodle course with a your custom note on top, their student info, and a table of their grades (automatically pulled from the Moodle gradebook).

This makes for a good weekly update/reminder for DL/BL teachers.

Sample email contents:

1. Within your course, click "Turn editing on"
2. In the side panel, find "Add a Block"
3. Add "bcln_progress_report"
