A frequently asked question on these forums is How can I ensure students have read my documents in full/watched my video all the way through? And of course, if you are not present while they read or watch, there is no way you can ensure this. It's a sad question which is  often prompted by authorities 'higher up' who have a requirement that a certain amount of time must be spent on the resource in order to guarantee the student has completed it. Moodle's conditional activities don't allow for time spent, but if you are one of those unlucky people who has to follow orders from those who think this requirement actually reflects good teaching  -here is one possible way to placate them:

Problem: 
You need your students to watch a video all the way through and then answer some questions.
Solution:
Make two lessons, using the Lesson module. In the settings of the first lesson, make sure retakes are allowed and that they can review the lesson. Add one content page with the video in, explaining they must watch it all before they can answer the question. Jump to the end of the lesson:

Now make the second lesson with all your questions in, and in the prerequisites, set access to be available only when the student has spent the amount of time of the length of the video in your first lesson. See Lesson settings (Our video above lasts just under four minutes)

Result:
Dutiful student Jane watches the video all the way through and then clicks on the second lesson and sees:

Lazy student John watches two seconds of the video and then clicks on the second lesson and sees:

What happens next?
Obviously we want John to go back and watch the video all the way through and then access the questions in the second lesson. But in reality... he goes back to the first lesson, opens up another tab, reads his emails, gets himself a coke and burger, plays an online game... and then when he returns and finishes the lesson, the questions in lesson 2 are automatically opened up for himחיוך גדול

So do use with discretion - but perhaps it might be useful to some.
