Activity and course completion tracking

Setting up activity tracking

Once you’ve turned on completion tracking, you will need to set the completion criteria for any activities that you want to count towards course completion.

Select the activity you would like to add completion tracking to and click on the icon of three vertical dots next to them to reveal a drop-down menu with the choices Edit settings, Move, Availability, Duplicate, Assign roles and Delete.

Click on Edit settings.

At the bottom of the Edit settings page, click on Completion conditions.

By default, the completion conditions for all activities are set as None. This means that the activity will not be tracked and no checkbox will appear beside it.

Select either Students must manually mark the activity as done or Add requirements. If you select Add requirements, further options will appear, which will allow the activity to be marked as complete automatically, including View the activity and an option to enable an expected date of completion.

Then click on Save and display.

There should now be a checkbox on the homepage alongside the activity you added completion tracking to. The system will add a tick to this box when the activity has been completed.

Note that if you’ve added a SCORM file to your course and want it to count towards course completion, you will need to configure the SCORM completion settings before outputting the SCORM from where it was created. Once it has been added to the course you will need to go to the SCORM package’s settings and switch on Auto-commit under the Compatibility settings heading, you need to switch 'auto-commit' on so the SCORM can tell OpenLearn Create (Moodle) that the learner has successfully completed the SCORM activity. Information on adding a SCORM package to your course can be found elsewhere in this guide.
