After you have enabled completion tracking at the site level, and configured it at the course level, the next step is to configure it at the activity level.
- Go to the course home page and turn editing on.
- Select the edit/update icon next to the lesson or other activity you want to configure for completion tracking.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the settings page for your activity to the Activity completion section.
- From the Completion tracking drop-down menu, there are three options available:
- Do not indicate activity completion: Obviously this is what you would select if you do not want to enable completion tracking for this activity.
- Students can manually mark the activity as completed: We discussed this in the Employee Handbook example.
- Show activity as complete when conditions are met: Use this when you want to control the conditions of completion.
- The next two settings, Require view and Require grade, are the possible conditions that can be set if you have selected Show activity as complete when conditions are met.
- The Require view setting, if the box is checked, means that the activity will be complete as soon as the student views the activity.
- The Require grade setting, if the box is checked, means the student must receive a grade in the activity before it will be complete.
- The Expect completed on setting, when enabled, only appears in the activity completion report. It is not viewable by students in the course.
We have just enabled completion tracking at the site, course, and activity level. We have also set up course completion criteria in our course so that both employees and managers can measure progress.
Sometimes a score on a quiz isn't enough to complete a course. There are times when an expert in the field is required to judge whether a student has successfully met the requirements. Or we may want to mix both face-to-face and online training. For example, a Sexual Harassment course may have both an online reading and quiz component and a face-to-face role-play offline assignment. The moderator for the face-to-face portion of the training would need to judge whether the employee successfully applied what they have learned.
For this Have a go hero, create a course that requires both a score on a quiz and moderator approval to pass.
You now have a few more tools in your Moodle toolbox, but don't forget that the modules you learned in previous chapters can also be very useful when delivering compliance training. Take a moment and reflect on what you learned previously and how forums, databases, quizzes, and glossaries could also be useful in compliance training at your organization.
