Completion Tracking
@lambdasolutions
Completion tracking can be used to report on the students progress in a course or if a student has met the recommended prerequisites of a course.
The Completion tracking feature works on two levels of Course Completion and Activity Completion.
Completion Tracking?
@lambdasolutions
The Value of Completion Tracking
Students can clearly see where they are in your Moodle course, and know how far they have progressed.
Teachers can ensure students have a firm understanding of course fundamentals before progressing, locking future resources until prerequisites are complete.
Businesses can quickly and easily monitor and track staff professional development.
