Course completion settings

Enabling course completion

An administrator can enable course completion for the site by ticking the ‘Enable completion tracking’ checkbox in Administration > Site administration > Advanced features.

An instructor can then enable course completion for their course by setting ‘Enable completion tracking’ to Yes in the Edit settings screen for their course. (This also enables the use of Activity completion.)

A Course completion link will then appear in the gear menu or the navigation block, depending on the theme. Clicking there will display three tabs:

The information below explains the settings in the Course completion tab. See Activity completion settings for the Default activity completion and Bulk edit activity completion tabs.

Course completion settings

General

Choose here how you wish to mark the course complete -whether you want Any or All of the requirements that follow to count towards completion.

Condition:Activity completion

Tick the boxes of the activities you wish to count towards completion of the course. (You need to have Activity completion enabled to be able to do this. You can decide whether ALL of the activities must be completed or ANY one of them.

 

NOTE: You can also later on make any of the activities as required/not required to be completed to complete a course without Unlocking the Course completion criteria. This setting is available under Activity Completion for all the activities.

Condition: Completion of other courses

(These settings are collapsed by default.)

Settings when no other courses have course completion enabled

Settings when course completion is enabled in one or more other courses

This setting allows you to make “the completion of another course” as a condition for completing the course you are currently working in. This does not block the user from your current course; it simply means that the current course will not be marked complete until the first course has been marked complete. Thus, completion of the current course is dependent upon completion of an earlier course. Just select one or more courses in the “Courses available box”.

Note: To remove a course from the list if it is not required, press CTRL+click on the highlighted course and it will be deselected.

Condition: Date

If you tick the Enable box you can then set a date after which the course will be declared complete.

Condition: Enrollment duration

If you tick the Enable box you can then choose a number of days after enrollment upon which the course will be marked complete.

Condition: Unenrollment

If you tick “Enable” here then the course will be marked complete once the user is unenrolled.

Condition: Course grade

If you tick the Enable box, you can set a passing grade for the course. Please note that course grade in Completion status is looking at the total of points (raw grade) rather than a percentage.

Condition: Manual self-completion

If this is enabled then a user can mark the course complete themselves from the Self-completion block.

Condition: Manual completion by others

Users with selected roles may mark the course as complete if their role is ticked here. The roles listed are ones for which the capability Mark users as complete in course completion is allowed.

ALL means that each role must mark the course complete before; ANY means that it will be classed as complete once one role has marked it complete.

Site administration settings

Use Site administration > Advanced features > Enable completion tracking (check enabled) in order to allow completion tracking on your site.

You can set Completion tracking as On or Off in new courses as a course default in Site administration > Courses > Course default settings.
