==Sigh - a rambling page==
I decided to create a [[Course completion tracking]] and [[Course completion tracking settings]] pages, so called because the Course Setting menu calls it "Completion tracking" and the underlying page says "Course Completion Settings" and I failed to see this page (Course completion).  And someplace we will have some sort of Advanced site administration setting to turn this feature on and off that may or maynot need a page.  I suspect this page and "Course completion tracking" are probably similar.
I thought this page might be more for an administrator or course creator. If activity locking and conditional activities are any judge, this powerful feature has many levels.  Right now this page presents a casual view of this subject, which I am not going to edit for the moment.  Love this feature and really look forward to using it. --[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 16:46, 25 November 2010 (UTC)


:Hi Chris, just come across this page (obviously!), [[Course completion tracking]] and <nowiki>[[Course completion tracking settings]]</nowiki> and decided to redirect 'Course completion tracking' to 'Course completion tracking settings' as they're about the same thing. Hoping you approve ;-) --[[User:Helen Foster|Helen Foster]] 17:59, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Revision as of 11:14, 24 September 2011

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

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.

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 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)
