Why use it?

Completion tracking can help students to manage their work better and teaching staff to get better insight into students' progress.

Step 1: Turn Completion tracking on

Completion tracking is enabled by default if the course was set up after 14th June 2019. If it was set up earlier, go to the Administration block and click on Edit settings.

From the completion tracking drop-down choose from:

Do not indicate activity completion

If this option is selected, the particular activity will be excluded from completion tracking.

Students can manually mark the activity as completed

If this option is selected, students will see a circle next to the activity that can be ticked indicating that the activity has been completed.

Show activity as complete when conditions are met

Conditions can be set based on the viewing of the activity, a set grade configuration of the grade settings, number of attempts and/or a time and date to be completed by.

...

Depending on the type of activity, for example in the case of a quiz, a pass grade can be set. Only when the student achieved the required grade the activity will be marked as completed.

  • Student must receive a passing grade to complete this activity

In the quiz example, the student must achieve the pass grade as specified in the activity settings for it to be completed.

  • Expect completed on…Or all available attempts completed

In the quiz example, the student must either pass the activity or exhaust the maximum number of attempts as specified in the activity settings for it to be completed.

  • Minimum number of attempts

In the quiz example, the student must have attempted the quiz at least once for it to be completed.

  • Expect completed on

Set a time and date that the activity needs to be completed by.

Once you have set the conditions, click Save and return to the course.
