Explore activity completion, permissions, peer learning, peer assessment, and self-assessment.
Activity completion
You can allow a student to mark an activity as 'completed' when editing a resource or activity:
This is particularly useful for those students who take the course online and want to keep track of what they have already covered.
A second possible use is to oblige students to complete a part of the course before they can continue by selecting 'Show activity as complete when conditions are met' and then select your conditions.
So this tool helps with self-directed learning, essentially, and helps the teacher manage online delivery.
NB: When you first use completion tracking in your module, first go to course settings and enable completion tracking.
