Activity completion allows the lecturer to set completion criteria for a specific activity or resource. A tick appears against the item when the student meets the criteria. The criterion might be viewing, receiving a certain score or a student marking it as complete. Through Activity Completion staff and students can track learner progress. Activities might be shown to be 'completed' automatically e.g. when a quiz is submitted, or manually marked as completed by the Student. Used together with restrict access, you can explore opportunities for self-directed learning.

Timed Release Timed Release allows documents or activities on Moodle to be available to students from or to a set date. This feature is useful to guide students to read articles at a set point in their course or to ask them to complete a piece of assessment at a particular time, e.g. an in-class multiple-choice test. Grade Conditions Lecturers can guide students to different resources based on each student's existing knowledge, thereby personalising each student's route through the module based on their achievement. For example, a mid-term formative quiz has been set. Those students who achieve more than 70% in the quiz will get access to Report 1. Those who achieve less than 70% will be given access to a follow-up presentation. Activity Completion Activities can be set to be manually marked as complete by students or Moodle will automatically mark them as complete when conditions are met. For example, an Assignment is hidden from students until all three of the activities have been marked by the students as complete. The Week 3 Assignment will automatically be marked as complete by Moodle when the assignment has been submitted. Student Self Completion This is beneficial to students as they can keep track of their own progress through a module. Students are able to mark work as complete as they move through the module. |
You can use the Activity completion settings with Restrict access settings to provide conditional activities for students. With conditional activities you can
force students to follow a particular pathway,
create alternative pathways in a module by setting the access according to different criteria.
Activity Completion is enabled by default on all new modules. If you are working on a pre 2020/21 module you will need to enable Completion tracking.
If required, follow these steps to enable completion tracking on your module:
Click on Settings. If course completion is enabled, it will appear as an option in the Settings menu. If course completion is not enabled, click Edit settings.
On the course settings page, scroll down to the Completion tracking settings. Click on the title to reveal its options.
To turn completion tracking on, select Yes from the Enable completion tracking drop-down menu.
Click save and display.
Depending on the type of activity, there can be different completion requirements. For example, a page might have the requirement to require view; a Quiz might have the requirement to require grade while a Forum might have the requirement to require posts/discussions/replies.

Several settings are only available in specific types of activities when Completion tracking is set to Show activity as complete when conditions are met. Require grade
Setting criteria for gradingIt is possible to distinguish between pass and fail grades so that the activity becomes completed, passed or completed, not passed instead of just completed. These results show a different icon and alternative text. To set this up, you need to specify the pass value for the activity's individual grade: Turn editing on. In your module open the activity. Click Settings in the top right corner followed by Edit settings. Scroll down to and expand the Grade settings. Type a grade value (e.g. 50.0) in the Grade to pass box. Scroll down and click Save and return to course. Once you have done this, students will receive either the pass or fail completion icon when the activity is graded. For example, a student submitting a Quiz would receive this once the quiz has been auto-marked. If the quiz can be taken multiple times, the completion icon will automatically update whenever the grade does.
