Talk:Course completion
Suggestions for page improvements
'Tell when a course is complete' Course_completion - OU, Jan 11, OK, maybe include a graph, mention similarity/differences with conditional activities, has Manual completion sections, might add Automatic Completion
- Course completion settings* how are they set, who sets them (eg Admin must activate sitewide...), all things before they get used by students
- Using Course completion - OU, Jan 11, basic overview OK, useful link to Course_completion, link to comparison of course completion/conditional activities (new page?)
- Course_completion_status_block - see above under blocks, linked to
good link to Course completion screencast (Mary's) -could insert HQ clip on Activity completion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6vjgfMae8U (mess though, it has both activity and course completion)
Again, must distinguish this clearly from Conditional activities!
M, common/creative uses of this function in one place... check Self completion block too, not sure.
- Course completion FAQ M, would be very good to have it...
Is this activity completion?
I think this is more to do with Activity completion rather than course completion although the two are interconnected? 08:01, June 25, 2010 Mary Cooch
- No evidently we have Course completions (Course conditions, aka course prerequisites) and Conditional Activities. I am not sure what is Activity completion at this moment, but I shall soon find out --Chris collman 16:46, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Chris, just come across this page (obviously!), Course completion tracking and [[Course completion tracking settings]] and decided to redirect 'Course completion tracking' to 'Course completion tracking settings' as they're about the same thing. Hoping you approve ;-) --Helen Foster 17:59, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
- Hi Helen, the template went to the other page, so I decided completion settings was more consistant with UI page that says "Edit course completion settings" --Chris collman 18:45, 24 September 2011 (WST)
Condition for entering another course?
Mary boiled it down. Chris deleted his comments and left what he thought was the essense.
Hi Chris - see the tracker entry where they explain course prerequisite does NOT mean banning access to a course and also the ongoing semantic argument about what to call course prerequisite :) http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-22259 Mary Cooch
The reason I noticed this was that there has been confusion with the term "course prerequisite" that is used in the course completion tracking settings - you can set a named course as a "prerequisite" for your current course completion - and people are assuming wrongly this means you cannot enter the current course until you have completed that previous named course -it doesn't mean that - it just means that you cannot have this current course completed until you have also completed the previous named course. A pity - as what people are assuming wrongly is what people would actually want to have - and we don't have it yet :( Mary Cooch
- Well obviously, you are absolutely correct. I looked at the Developer:course completion page and there is no mention of this being used in a course setting as a condition. --Chris collman 16:32, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
- Semantics, gotta love it. --Chris collman 18:04, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
