Lesson and Course Completion Report

Lesson and Course Completion Report

I am relatively new to Moodle and am having a dickens of a time separating those students who have already completed a course (in some cases a month ago) from those who just completed it.  Can someone please help!?

Another topic:  Is there a way to make the program show the student on the Main page that a lesson has been completed?

Clint,
If your student is moving through the course in a linear fashion, they should know that they have hit the end when there are no more lessons or quizzes etc. for them to complete. When our students get to that point in the course there is an assignment for them to complete notifying the teacher that they are done. This way the teacher knows that the student believes he/she is done and checks the grade book to confirm it.

Hope this helps,

Hi Clint,
We issue Certificates for a completed course. This is a 3rd party add in. It has some conditions which can be turned on, involving quiz and survey. Emails upon completion to student and teacher are a feature.

As of yet there is not a Groups setting for a Lesson in a course. Might involve a lot of work moving students from group to group. For example a report that showed only students who were part of the enrolled group in a course.

We also use a version of Activity Locking (both a generic term for 3rd party Conditional Activity modules, and a standard module in development for 2.0 ). Some 3rd party versions will both hide activities (such as a lesson) from a student if conditions are not met, and mark activities which have been completed. This does not help the teacher 微笑

Following up on Sandra's method, remember there are Reports which can tell the teacher which students have completed the assignment or received a certificate in a course. Sandra mentioned Grades or the Gradebook which is essentially a report.

Your other topic, got me wondering if "My Moodle" or a student's course block might show an icon like a diploma or certificate when a course was done. Good questions.

Hope this helps Chris

We are at this same point. Is there some way of notifying the student that something is complete on their MyMoodle page? Preferably, something graphic. But anything, really. Even a simple "complete" somewhere by the course?

Frank,

Excellent work on the lesson status block. I've filched it and am already planning to use it once it passes muster on our testing server. Thanks!

However, what I'm really looking for is something that will allow our students to see the status of their assigned courses as soon as they login and their MyMoodle page appears. Our students have a lot of CE courses assigned to them, and due to our unique way of enrolling them, we can't use (at this time) the code snippet that will automatically un-enroll students once they recieve their certificate (yep, we're already using the certificate plugin).

What I need is something that would (one way to do it) look at the status of the students course completion certificate and denote on the MyMoodle page (somehow) that the particular assigned course is either "done" or "not done".

I have no php skills at all, so I'm floundering around out here in the forums.

Does anyone know of anything that will do what I'm looking for?

See the spec for a course completion feature being developed for Moodle 2.0. Once the feature is added, it will be fairly trivial to add a user's course completion status for each course shown in his/her My Moodle.

I am new too, and all I can see is the reports and/or grades feature which is manual tracking by the teacher.  On a related note, I also need to make sure a student completes a lesson before taking a quiz (a dependent), but don't see how to do that.  Dependents work for lessons to lessons, but not text pages or quizzes.  Got to be something I am missing.  Help?

Hi Jeff,
You have not missed a thing. Lesson was the first module in a Standard Moodle to put dependency settings in it. Conditional dependency will be a feature in Moodle 2.0 that will include all activity modules and resources.

There is the Activity Locking contributed module(s) that come in various flavors for various Moodle versions. This contributed code(s) should be replaced with the Conditional dependency feature in 2.0. I always advise people to understand the impact when you install AL, it hacks into at least one standard moodle php file. I have a love/hate relationship with it 微笑 But I am pleased to report that one site administrator has it working on a 1.5 Moodle and another has it working on a 1.9.5 May Moodle. We will see what happens with the upgrade process.

Other work arounds. Some place the password code for a quiz in a lesson. Not really great but might work if it was an online course and no student to student communication. The latest version of Certificate module, contributed code I also use, will allow you to add various dependencies based upon specific activities. Check out the add/edit settings for features for things like emails to teachers and others. This does not solve the progression of "student must complete lesson(s) before taking a quiz". But it does insure that they will not finish the course (get a certificate) without having done both 微笑

Activity Locking is where you want to look. Others may have a different opinion.

Best Chris
