Setting Up and Using Completion Tracking

Last Update 6 dagen geleden

The completion tracking feature allows learners and instructors to see the completion status of activities and resources on the main course page.

Instructors can choose whether learners mark activities as complete manually or Moodle marks them as complete automatically when learners meet the completion requirements, such as achieving a required score or viewing the item.

Completion tracking can also be used to set up conditional release, allowing instructors to make activities or resources available only after learners complete specific activities or meet specified requirements.

Turning On Completion Tracking in a Course

To use completion tracking in a new Avenue course, follow these steps. If completion tracking has already been enabled, skip this section and proceed to Turning On and Editing Course Completion.


1. Click on Settings in the course navigation menu.



2. On the Course settings page, scroll down to the Completion tracking section.


3. Expand the Completion tracking section and set Enable completion tracking to Yes.



4. Click on the Save and display button.


Turning On and Editing Course Completion

Once completion tracking is enabled, you can configure the requirements for completing the course.

1. Click on More in the course navigation menu.


2. Select Course completion.



3. In the General section, choose the Completion requirements.

Choose "Course is complete when ALL conditions are met" if learners must meet every selected completion condition, or "Course is complete when ANY of the conditions are met" if meeting at least one of the selected conditions is sufficient for the course to be considered complete.



4. In the Condition: Activity completion section, select the activities or resources that learners need to complete.



5. Choose whether learners must complete all or any of the selected activities.


6. In the Condition: Completion of other courses section, select any other courses that learners must complete.



7. If needed, enable the course completion date in the Condition: Date section and select a date.



8. If needed, enable Enrolment duration and specify the required duration.


9. To automatically unenrol learners when the course completion conditions are met, enable Condition: Unenrolment.


10. If needed, enable Condition: Course grade and specify the required course grade.


11. To allow learners to manually mark the course as complete, enable Condition: Manual self completion.



12. To allow users with selected roles to manually mark the course as complete on behalf of learners, enable the appropriate options in the Condition: Manual completion by others section.



13. When you have finished configuring the conditions, click Save changes.

Default Activity Completion

The Default activity completion section allows instructors to set default completion options for each activity or resource type.



These settings apply to all activities or resources of the selected type across the course, rather than to individual activities or resources. They provide a starting point that can be adjusted for individual activities as needed.



  • Students must manually mark the activity as done allows learners to manually mark the activity as complete.

  • View the activity allows Moodle to mark the activity as complete when a learner views it. This option is useful for resources such as URLs, files, and instructions.

  • Receive a grade allows Moodle to mark the activity as complete when a learner receives a grade. If a specific minimum score is required, select Passing grade.

  • Set reminder in Timeline allows instructors to set an expected completion date for the activity. The date is displayed in the learner's Timeline on the Dashboard.


When you have finished editing the settings, click Save changes.

Bulk Edit Activity Completion


The Bulk edit activity completion tab allows instructors to apply completion settings to multiple activities or resources at once.


Unlike Default activity completion, these settings apply only to the specific activities or resources selected in the course. They do not change the default completion settings for an activity or resource type.


1. Select the activities or resources you want to edit and click Edit.


2. Update the completion settings as needed and click Save changes.
