Course completion

From MoodleDocs

Template:Moodle 2.0 Course completion is a new feature in Moodle 2.0 onwards that allows for a course to be officially marked as finished, either manually or automatically according to specified criteria.

To enable course completion, first ensure that 1) in Site Administration> Advanced features, completion tracking is checked 2) in the settings of your course, ensure that completion tracking is enabled and that the box "completion tracking begins on enrolment" is checked.

This results in a completion tracking settings link in the course settings.

Manual Course Completion by the student

To allow a student to decide for themselves when they have completed a course, there are two requirements:

The student may then click the "complete course link" in the block.

self completion

They are then asked to confirm they have completed the course and the course status will change to "complete" after the next cron job- explanatory screenshot here Media:Selfcompletionstatus.png

Manual Course Completion by the teacher

In order for a teacher (or non editing teacher, Manager or other role) to mark a course as complete, the appropriate box must be checked in the course completing tracking settings.

To view course completion you must enable the Course completion status block.

In order for a course to be marked complete the conditions must be met. Once the cron.php script is run again any enrolled student who has completed the conditions for completion will be marked complete for the course.
