As a course author, you can establish completion rules at two distinct levels: course and module. This allows you to effectively manage learner progress and ensure content is completed within set timelines.
1. Course-Level Completion Rules
You can apply a completion rule at the course level, which sets the criteria learners must meet to mark the entire course as complete.
Steps to Set Course-Level Completion Rules:
Go to the Course Editing page.
Select the ‘Settings’ tab.
Choose one of the available options:
Specific date – The course must be completed by a designated date.
Completion rule – The due date is automatically set upon enrollment, based on the defined completion target.
Save your changes.
The course due date will be displayed on the course tile under the "Learning" tab.
2. Module-Level Completion Rules
This functionality enables you to define prerequisites (please check the complete guide, Steps to Set Up Pre-requisites in a Course) and assign due dates, ensuring learners progress through modules in the correct sequence and within the specified timeframe.
Steps to Set Module-Level Completion Rules:
Go to the Course Editing page.
Select the ‘Structure’ tab.
Select the module to which you want to add a due date.
Choose your preferred completion rule
Specific date – The course must be completed by a designated date.
Completion rule – The due date is automatically set upon enrollment, based on the defined completion target.
Save your changes.
The module due date will be displayed in your progress tab.
Note: Unlike full-course due dates, will not trigger reminder notifications if the learner misses the deadline.
