Course completion FAQ

From MoodleDocs

Students have completed things, report does not show it

Cron.php needs to run. Ask your site administrator if it is possible to run cron for course completion more frequently.

I made a mistake and had to erase my student data. Do my students have to redo the activities?

No. For example, if you set the course completion for All aggregation methods and wanted to reset it to "Any", Moodle will warn you that you are deleting student data. It will delete the student data only for the course completion information. When cron.php runs it will recompile the course completion information.

My student got an error message when they click on more information in the course completion block

Moodle is confused by your course completion settings. This may happen at the start of the course when the student has not completed an activity and/or you have selected an aggreation method of All and have not checked off that they have completed the activity.

Where do my students tell me they have finished the course?

Did you install the Self completion block? When they click on the link in that block, that will indicate they think they are done. You will have to wait for Cron to run before seeing the results in your course competition report.
