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).

10. Set up the Statement of Participation

Once you’re satisfied the badge(s) works correctly, set up the Statement of Participation.  If you set this up earlier you will need to go back into it to add the badges and you might find that your test account receives a SoP which is not complete.

  • Add a block - Achievements
  • An ‘achievements’ block will now appear in the menu area
  • Click on the ‘configure achievements block’ button
  • The Block settings form will appear
  • There will be a default email message in the ‘email text’ box – you can amend this to suit the learner needs.
  • Upload a logo into the provider logo box.  This will appear on the top of the Statement of Participation
  • It is usually a good idea to include the badge(s) on the Statement of Participation, so check this box.  This is shown on the second page of the document.
  • Save changes
  • In the achievements block you can view a test Statement of Participation which will show what the newly created SoP looks like.
 The alternative to using the SoP is a Moodle Custom Certificate.
