Completion Tracking Options for a Resource or an Activity

Completion tracking

There are three options that are generally available in Activity completion that determine the requirements for a resource or activity to be marked complete. number 1 grey

These are options are set through the Completion tracking drop down in the settings of the resource or activity and are:

    1. Do not indicate activity completion: this means this assessment will not be included in the list of activities students need to mark as complete.
    2. Students can manually mark the activity as completed: this means the students can manually mark this assessment complete at any time.
    3. Show activity as complete when conditions are met: this option enables the requirements beneath to be used. Multiple conditions may be set if you want. If so, the assessment will only be considered complete when ALL conditions are met.

Required Conditions

There are three conditions that can be enabled to automatically track student completion on activities. The resource options are less varied. number 2 grey

    • Student must receive a grade to complete this activity
    • Student must submit to this activity to complete it
