Completion settings
When setting up completion conditions for a course you can configure the following settings.
| Setting | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Completion requirements | Determines whether all or any of the completion conditions on the rest of this page are required. | - |
Completion of other courses | Allows you to select courses that must be completed as part of the completion criteria for this course. Select the course(s) to select the prerequisite course(s). | This setting does not prevent a learner from enrolling in this course if they have not completed the prerequisite course(s). But this course will not mark as complete until the learner has completed the other course(s) selected and met any other conditions set within this course's completion settings. |
Date | Specify the date that users must remain enrolled until. | - |
Days left | Specify the number of days the user must remain enrolled for. | - |
Course grade | Specify the course grade that the user must achieve; this is different from the pass grade for an activity which is set in the Gradebook. | - |
Manual Self completion | Allows a learner to mark themselves complete in the course; the Self completion block needs to be added to the course page to enable this. | - |
Manual completion by others | Allows you to assign users with the selected role the ability to manually mark a learner as complete. The Site Administrator allocates to roles in the system the ability to manually mark a learner as complete. | - |
Plugin settings
As a Site Administrator you can configure site-wide settings for the course completion report under Plugins > Reports > Course completion in the quick-access menu.
| Setting | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Show only active enrolments | When enabled, completion records are shown for learners with existing active enrolments only. When disabled, the report will also include the completion records of learners with suspended or expired enrolments. Learners with removed enrolments are always excluded. | - |
