Activity and Course completion tracking

If you need to set up completion tracking of activities so that a Statement of Participation or Badge can be configured for your course, you need to switch on the Course completion tracking in the Edit settings. These checks and setup should only be done after everything else in the course is ready, including the quizzes. Some of this configuration (badges) can only be setup by someone with ‘manager’ permissions for a course. If you are the course ‘owner’ you will need to request the ‘manager’ role for your course from openlearncreate@open.ac.uk (please provide the URL of the course for which you are requesting ‘manager’ permissions).

4. Bulk editing resource and activity completion settings

You can also set up activity tracking for several similar activity types at the same time, with the same settings. 

  1. To go the Edit completion settings menu
  2. Click on the dropdown box at the top of the screen which has ‘edit completion settings’ as the default and select ‘bulk edit activity completion’ on the dropdown
  3. All the activities and resources in the course will appear on the screen. 
  4. Select all the activities for which the same completion settings need to apply and click on the edit button
  5. Configure the settings on the Bulk edit activity completion screen which appears then save the changes. The screen will tell you exactly which activities or resources you have selected which the changes will affect.

You would probably select all the quizzes to have similar completion settings, or all the course content resources to have the same completion settings (activities and resources would not necessarily have the same completion settings).
