Enabling completion tracking

The completion tracking and conditional activities were introduced in the Moodle 2.0 release and were quickly added to our list of features to enable. The completion tracking and conditional activities features allow you to turn the course page into a checklist for your students. When incorporated at the course level, a checkbox will appear next to each activity, which the student can then mark as complete as they finish the task or view the content. This feature helps the students stay on track in the course and can be very motivating:

The completion tracking feature is flexible. You can set criteria, such as when a student submits an assignment or posts a specified number of replies within a forum. When the performance criteria has been satisfied, the application automatically indicates task completion. This feature makes it much easier for students to keep track of their place in the course.

To enable completion tracking, perform the following steps:

1. Go to the Site administration menu and select Advanced features
2. Scroll down the Advanced features page until you find Enable completion tracking
3. Check the box next to it to enable it
4. Click on the Save changes button at the bottom of the page
