Course completion can be used in many ways. It is important to remember that this feature is only a reporting feature.
It can provide a visual clue to students of the activities they have completed. This can be via a check mark next to the activity on the course's home page, or by looking at the Course completion status block.
While it can not lock a student out of another course, it will allow a teacher to see if a student has completed the recommended prerequisite the Aggregation method "All" prerequisite courses.
It is a way to ensure that the teaching team's members sign off that a student has completed the course. For example, Teacher B is the instructor for Course2, which has a recommended prerequisite for completing Course1. Teacher B, is the non-editing teacher in Course1 and must check the box that indicates the student has completed the course.
Courses can be linked via their course completion criterion.
Note: The course completion feature works with Cron. Thus changes in reports may not appear until after cron.php has run.
