<p class="note">'''Please refer to [[Page_notes#Activity completion|these notes]] before editing this page.'''</p>

Activity completion is a new feature in Moodle 2.0 and is found under the advanced settings of most activities. This feature allows the teacher to make student entry into the activity conditional upon meeting standards of completion by another activity.

For example, a teacher will set a Quiz to be dependent upon the student completing a specific Lesson or Assignment activity.

:Note: When it was under development activity completion was called [[Conditional activities]] and there were contributed modules in pre 2.0 Moodles called [[Activity locking]].

==Enabling activity completion==

To use activity completion, the following settings must be enabled:
* By an administrator by checking the ''"Enable completion tracking"'' and ''"Enable conditional availability"'' checkboxes in ''Site Administration > [[Advanced features]]''.
* By an administrator/instructor by selecting ''"Enabled, control via completion and activity settings"'' option in drop-down box for ''"Completion tracking"'' under ''"Student progress"'' area in the ''"Course administration" > "Edit settings"'' page.

After the above settings are enabled, an Activity completion section will appear for teachers on the edit activity page.

Essentially this asks the teacher what is necessary for this activity to be considered complete. It is found in the activity setting's "'''Activity completion'''" This condition can then be checked in the restrict condition area in another activity setting (see restrict availability condition above).

==Require view==

When this option is turned on, students have to view the activity in order to complete it.

* In most cases, clicking the link is enough to 'view' the activity.
* You should usually not turn on the 'view' condition if you have other requirements - this makes extra work for the server and it's unlikely that a student could meet any other conditions without viewing the activity.

==Require grade==

When this option is turned on, students have to get a grade on the activity in order to complete it. For example, a quiz would be marked completed as soon as the user submits it.

It does not matter how well the student did. Getting any grade will mark the activity completed.

It is possible to distinguish between 'pass' and 'fail' grades so that the activity becomes 'completed, passed' or 'completed, not passed' instead of just 'completed'. These results show a different icon and alternative text.

To set this up, you need to specify the pass value for this activity's individual grade:

# Go to the course gradebook by clicking the 'Grades' link on the course administration block.
# From the 'Choose an action' dropdown, pick 'Categories and items'.
# Click the Edit icon next to the grade item for this activity.
# Turn on 'Show Advanced'.
# Type a grade value (e.g. 5.0) in the 'Grade to pass' box.

Once you have done this, anybody submitting the quiz will receive either the pass or fail completion icon. If the quiz can be taken multiple times, the completion icon will automatically update whenever the grade does.

There is one limitation: this only works if grades are immediately visible to students. The grade must be neither permanently hidden, nor hidden until a certain date. If a grade is hidden then only the standard 'completed' state will be displayed - even once the hidden date has passed.

==Locked completion options==

If at least one person has completed an activity, completion options are 'locked'. This is because changing these options may result in unexpected behaviour.

If somebody has ticked an activity as manually completed, and you then set it to automatic completion, the activity will become unticked - very confusing for the student who had already ticked it!

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6vjgfMae8U Activity completion in Moodle 2.0 video]
It is best not to unlock options unless you are sure it won't cause problems - for example, if you know that students don't have access to the course yet, so it will only be staff who have marked the activity completed when testing.

===What happens when you unlock===

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.

* If the new completion option is manual, everyone will be set to 'not completed' regardless of any previous setting.
* If it is automatic then, depending on the options chosen, the system may or may not be able to construct a correct current value for everyone.
** The 'viewed' requirement will not work - even if a student has viewed the activity before, it will not be marked completed until they view it again.
** Most other options will be recalculated successfully.

If you change completion options while a student is logged in, they may not see the changes for some minutes.

Esembrat: /* Using groups in course or activity */

{{Groups}}
The '''Groups''' feature allows a teacher to assign teachers and students to one or more groups. This can be on the course or on the activity level.

Using groups on the course or activity level will allow the teacher to:

*Completely isolate groups of students by sight and activity from each other.
*Partially separate groups, where one group can see other groups and each groups' activity, but not interact with the other group(s).
*Identify each group with an icon.

The groups feature can allow different cohorts of students (and their teachers) to take the same course asynchronously without creating a "new" course. Or it allows 1 course with a large student enrolment to place students into sections, each section having their own teacher. Or it allows 1 course that is used by different departments.

{{Moodle 1.9}}
Groups must be enabled in the [[Course_settings]]. After it is enabled a group icon will appear in the [[Course administration block]].

The [[Image:Group.gif]] icon links to the Groups screen. There are 3 tabs on this screen:
*Groups - create/edit a group, add/subtract members,
*Groupings - create groups of individual groups
*Overview

==Groups tab==
This screen changes depending upon the edit button which is selected below the "Groups" and "Members of" lists. You will find buttons for: Show members of group, Edit group settings, Delete selected group, Create group, and Auto create group.

===Create a group===
Select the Create a group button. Give the group a name and a description. The [[enrolment key]] field will allow a user to enter the course and will automatically make them a member of this group. Uploading a group icon, will place the icon on the participants listing, forum posts by those group members and other places. The Save button takes you back to the Group tab screen.

:''TIP:'' For the enrolment key to work you will need to define a separate course enrolment key in your 'course settings').
:''TIP:'' To assign a group icon, you will need to have permission to add a picture to your profile.

===Add or remove group members ===
After creating a group, highlight a group and click the "Add members" button below the "Members of" list. The screen will change. Next you will see the add and remove buttons between 2 lists.

Highlight members you wish to add or remove. Remember you can use the Crtl key to select more than one person.

===Auto-create groups===
From the groups tab, it is possible to automate the creation of groups. Auto creation is a powerful tool which can allocate members to groups by several methods (alpha or randomly), set maximum number of members, create a unique group name and even assign the new group to a grouping.

See [[Auto-create groups]] for more information.

===Adding/subtracting people in a group===
To [[Assign users to group|add a member]](s) to a group you need to select the group name in the left column, then select the participants (use shift or ctrl for multiple selections), from the right column. Click the "Add" button to move them to the selected group..

To remove participants from a group, select the appropriate group to view members, select the participants to remove and click the "Remove selected members" button.

==Groupings tab==
Groupings allow you combine individual groups, which then become a group itself.

See [[Groupings]] for more information.

==Overview tab==
The overview tab shows course groupings, and membership of each group.

See [[Groups overview]] for more information

==Using groups in course or activity==

A group or grouping can be used on two levels:

* '''Course level''' - the group mode defined at the course level is the default mode for all activities defined within that course. This is determined in the course [[Course_settings|settings]].

* '''Activity level''' - each activity that supports groups can also have its own group mode defined. If the course setting "Force group mode" is set to "Yes" then the option to define the group mode for individual activities is not available.

[[Image:forceNo.png]]

'''AND'''

[[Image:forceYes.png]]

'''There are three group modes:'''

===No groups===
:There are no sub groups, everyone is part of one big community.

===Separate groups===
:Each group can only see their own group, others are invisible.

===Visible groups===
:Each group works in their own group, but can also see other groups. (The other groups' work is read-only.)

==Groups in older Moodle versions==
===Groups in 1.8===
[[Image:Groups 1.8.png|thumb|center|Edit groups screen in Moodle 1.8]]

Please note, in Moodle 1.8 onwards, [[Create group|groups are created]] and [[Assign users to group|users are assigned]] on separate pages.

===Groups pre -1.8===
[[Image:000.jpg|left|thumb|Groups in Moodle 1.7]]In Moodle 1.6 and 1.7, the Groups edit page has three columns:

* ''People in the course'' - both assigned and unassigned participants.

* ''Groups'' - A list of groups available for this course.

* ''Members of selected group'' - When you select a group this column will display the members of that group

Underneath each column are the options for that column.
