I am new to Moodle and have a lot to learn about the administration side. One question I have right away is, how can I change the Courses Page to show Completion of a certain course right on the main page? Right now, I have to drill down to the individual Course page itself to see the progress (Completed or Not Completed tick box). I would like to see that information before I drill down. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Is there anything in the documentation Course_completion?

Gareth, thank you for the reply. There is nothing in the course_completion documentation that I can see, which is related to what I am looking for. Maybe I was not clear enough in my first post. I am looking for a way to show enrolled courses for an individual user, once they are logged in, which shows a list of their courses in list/grid format and also indicates activity completion or progress with a tick box for each row/course title right on the Front page. Is this possible by adding some sort of component or block or design element on the Front page that shows this? Do I need to design a new page that shows this kind of information? Essentially, what I am looking for is a snapshot or dashboard type page for a user's courses in one view.

I see. The main area is controlled by the course renderer (/course/renderer.php) which is overridable in themes. In there I suspect are methods that produce the list of enrolled courses. Perhaps there is or could be completion code added to show this. To be honest I don't yet know.

Gareth, thank you for your input. I am wondering what the proper course of action is for me at this point. How does one usually go about getting something like this changed within Moodle? Should I inquire about getting a plugin or module developed by a Moodle partner or contractor? What do you suggest? Thank you for any help you can give me.

Hi NJ Lechnir,
To be honest, I know about themes and overriding plugins but do not know enough about the course completion code to be able to complete the task for you yet. Therefore I would recommend advertising on Moodle jobs (https://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=54) for a contractor or contact a Moodle Partner (http://moodle.com/partners/) in your location.
Kind regards,
Gareth
If you use the Checklist module and add checklists to any activity which you want to monitor, then:
When a student opens up the /my homepage, the checklist will display each progress right under their courses.
https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=mod_checklist
It works well on every version and very stable.
