The Checklist is a a plugin feature available in Moodle 2.0 . This plugin must be installed by your Moodle administrator. The settings allow control by  student, teacher or auto check off.

When you click on Show progress bars in the Table view, you will see the following progress bars display:

When you click on the magnifying glass by an individual’s name, you will see a list of the individual’s items. As a teacher you may click in the Add comments to add your own comment after any checklist item.
