Completion (progression) rules can be added to courses with multiple learning items and/or modules.
The completion rules are in the Course/Edit mode, on the Course/Structure screen.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Click on the Module name
- In the right-hand panel, click the three-dot menu option
- Select "Completion Rules" (Image 1)
The completion rule options (Image 2) are:
- Require learners to complete learning items in the order listed
- If ticked, learners cannot progress to the second learning item in the module until they complete the first; to the third until they complete the second; and so on.
- This is useful if your courses contains a number of readings, videos or weblinks where your staff may miss the "Mark as Complete" button.
- Before a user can start this module there is prerequisite material that must be completed
- This option allows you determine what (if any) modules must be completed before the current one
- For example: you may wish require users to complete a module with a video before one with readings and a quiz.
- Suggested completion
- There are three options for completion rules on a course
- Specific date: use only if the course is a one-off assignment to staff, otherwise the date will become irrelevant
- Completion rule: the due date is based on a nominated time length from either enrolment (in this module) or parent enrolment (in this course)
- None: this is the default option.
- Suggested completion dates or rules can also be set on each learning item.
- Adding specific completion rules to individual modules or learning items allows you to create a longer or more complex course and encourage staff to complete it gradually.
