Progress Bar Behavior

Progress Bar Behavior

Currently, the progress bar calculates a completion percentage based on the total number of pages in the lesson. If the user restarts the lesson, the progress bar doesn't reset. In other words, once I view all the pages, the progress bar will always be completely green.

In some cases, this is the desired behavior. In other cases, we want one of the following instead:

  • Progress bar represents the position of the current page within the lesson, rather than a completion percentage. For example, page 2 of 10, rather than 20%. Resetting the progress bar isn't an issue in this case.
  • Progress bar represents a completion percentage, but it resets when the user restarts the lesson. This may not be as important, because in this case, what we really want is probably the position, not the percentage.

Are either of these possible without custom code? Ideally, the behavior of the progress bar would be configurable within the UI. Instead of just turning it on or off, the course designer would specify its behavior. In the meantime, can an admin configure it, either at the course or site level?

Thanks!
