GOLDEN turns your Moodle site into a WebGIS. It geolocates users from the lastip column with a local MaxMind GeoLite2 database and renders cluster, choropleth and hotspot maps — per course or across your whole institution.
Every enrolled user as a marker, clustered at zoom-out for instant scale comprehension. Click a cluster to fly-in.
Thematic colouring of countries (or regions) by average course performance — spot under-served cohorts at a glance.
Kernel-density heatmap weighted by inverse grade to surface regions where students need academic support.
Scope any visualization to a single course, a grade band, or the entire institution.
Uses MaxMind GeoLite2-City on your own server. No external API calls, no PII leaves your Moodle.
Standard Moodle local plugin. Unzip under /local/golden, run upgrade, done. Admin-capability gated.
