What are Completion Rules?
Completion rules are requirements placed on course folders and/or course material. These requirements must be completed by students in the course. This feature allows teachers to structure the flow of their course, as well as to create self-paced learning for students. The following requirements are available for course folders and material, depending on the item for which you're setting a requirement:
- Must complete
- Must view the item
- Must post a comment/reply
- Must make a submission
- Must score at least
Set completion rules on folders
Setting completion rules on course folders requires students to complete a folder before progressing to the next folder.
To set completion rules on folders in a course, follow these steps:
- Click on the Courses area on the top menu.
- Click on a course you administer. Choose a course in which the material is organized into folders.
- In the Materials area of the course, click on the Options button near the top of the page.
- Select the option to add Student Completion.
- To add a completion rule to individual folders, click on the Add requirement option and add a folder you'd like students to complete.
- To add a completion rule to all folders, click on the option to Make all folders sequential.
- Click Save Changes to complete.
Set completion rules on material inside folders
If your top level folders have a Must Complete rule, we recommend that you add completion rules to items inside of folders as well. This step gives students a way to complete the folder.
To add completion rules to material inside of folders, follow these steps:
- Click on the gear to the right of a top level folder, or click on the Options button inside of the folder.
- Select the option to add Student Completion.
- Click on the Add requirement option and add a course material you'd like students to complete.
- To add additional completion rules, click on the Add requirement option until you've added rules to all necessary items in the course.
- Click Save Changes to complete.
Requirements must be completed in sequential order
In each folder, there is an option to require students to complete items in sequential order. This option is located in the upper right of the student completion form. When this option is enabled, students must successfully complete the rule(s) on one item before progressing to the next item.
Check Student Progress
As students complete course completion rules, you can view student progress by clicking on the Student Progress button on the course profile. Please note that the student progress information adjusts according to the area from which you're viewing students' progress. That is-- if you view students' progress from the course profile, you'll see a list of students' progress for the entire course. If you view students' progress from within a folder, you'll see students' progress of the items in the folder.
