Activity completion FAQ

From MoodleDocs

What happens when completion conditions are unlocked?

Once you unlock options and then click 'Save changes', all completion information for the activity will be deleted and, if possible, regenerated according to the new settings. See the section 'What happens when you unlock' in Activity completion settings for further details.

Activity completion status does not change

Has Cron been run on the server side? Activity completion default is to be trigger by a cron event at a regular interval. The default is 10 minutes.

Why so long a gap? My students want instant gratification and positive reinforcement they have taken another step! The update on a site can take time and resources of the server because it looks at every course, every activity, every user.

Want to change the default time? This will require a code tweak at line 89 or so in the /lib/completionlib.php file.
