About tracking content completion and participation

Completion tracking enables instructors to set the method of completion for an activity and provides progress indicators for learners as they complete unit activities. There are two types of completion tracking you can use in your unit offerings:

• Automatic Completion - Completion tracking that automatically determines whether users have completed a topic when they click to view it. For some activities, automatic tracking requires users to participate in a chat or discussion, submit a file or form, or complete an assessment such as a quiz or survey before completion is successful.
• Manual Completion - Completion tracking that is manually set by users. Users can select the completion check box beside each content topic to indicate they have completed it. Although users can use manual tracking to indicate that they have accomplished a task before it is completed (for example, selecting the completion check box beside a quiz activity before attempting the quiz at all), this does not affect assessment scores or user attempts counted towards an activity.

Changing an automatically tracked topic to manual completion resets completion tracking for that topic. This means that users might have to return to the topic to mark it complete; users do not need to resubmit files or assessment activities.
For the new SCORM solution, the checkmark that appears in the integrated learning platform only appear when a learner has completed the SCORM content (rather than when the learner launches the object). Note: The checkmark only appears if the SCORM object was programmed with a completion event.
