You can enable this in Advanced Features and it says When enabled, this lets you turn on completion tracking (progress) features at course level.
However; there is also the option to enable or disable this in the Course default settings in Student progress - I don't see why it is there also? I turned it off in Advanced Features but was still able to turn it on in Course Default settings - I am confusedmixed

Hi Mary,

Sorry I haven't had chance to look into this, however I was just wondering whether it was a case of when a feature has been used, if it is then disabled by an admin, the course setting is still displayed. Does that sound like a possibility?

Another thing, which may or may not be relevant, is a recent commit by Petr:

I think I understand it now, having had a play:
If it is disabled in Advanced features then it's irrelevant what it says in Course default settings; the option doesn't appear in individual course settings.

If it is enabled in Advanced features then the Course default settings can set the default to disabled- but the drop down option appears inside a course for an teacher to enable it if they so wish. Which is what you said!smile
