Completion Tracking

Conditional activitiesThe delayed appearance of an activity or resource to Students in a

course, based on their completion status of some other activity or resource.

What makes this “personal”

The appearance of activities depends on Students’ own completion of prior activities.

Each user’s completion is tracked individually. So, the course may appear differently to different Students.

Two Tools Conditional activities is a concept that is built using

two tools
