This availability condition makes it easy to show modules or sections only when a user completed a course. A course certificate is a good sample, but it can also be used to close discussion forums, hide quizzes or exams when a user finished a course.

Course completion is something else than doing all activities, read the docs on using course completion first! Also check the global documentation about conditional availability conditions.

Installation:

  1. Unpack the zip file into the availability/condition/ directory. A new directory will be created called coursecompleted.
  2. Go to Site administration > Notifications to complete the plugin installation.

Troubleshooting:

  1. Goto "Administration" > "Advanced features", and ensure that "Enable completion tracking" is set to yes.
  2. Make sure "Enable completion tracking" is set to "yes" in the course settings.
  3. Goto "Administration" > "Course administration" > "Course completion", and configure the the conditions required for course completion. Note: you must set some conditions, you cannot just set the "completion requirements" option at the top. Save.
  4. Goto "Administration" > "Course adminiatration". Make sure you can now "Course completion" listed under "reports". If you cannot see this report, then course completion has not been set correctly.
  5. Start restricting

    Sorry about this, I will downgrade the required Moodle version from 2017111302 to 2017111300 so the problem should disappear.

    Hi Shiraz,

    this plugin only restricts access to activities upon completion of this course. If you want to enrol a student when they complete a course, you can use the https://moodle.org/plugins/enrol_coursecompleted plugin.

    Course A: configure course completion
    Course B: add enrolment upon completion of course A
    => When a student completes course A, he/she is enrolled into course B

    Hi.
    I can't get this plugin to work..
    If I add the restriction "Course completed", I only get to choose "Yes" og "No".. There is no box to choose which course I want the student to have passed..
    I have moodle version 3.8

    Hi Tom,

    this plugin restricts access until or after THIS course is completed. If you want to restrict access upon another course, you will need another plugin: restrict access upon other course completion.

    Hello Viviane,

    Sorry my Portuguese in non existing.
    You have an problem with the availability_completion plugin, not with this this plugin (we use availability_coursecompletion)

    What to do?
    - undo the changes you made to the availability_completion plugin
    - check if other availability plugins depend on the availability_pluin are up to date

    Hello Daniel,

    THX for the problem report. Can you report a complete error report in the tracker (https://github.com/ewallah/moodle-availability_coursecompleted/issues). I'm particularly interested in your PHP version.

    Because the exception starts with a \ this is an auto load problem that should go away after you purge your caches.

    Can you confirm?

    So I am looking for a plugin that will restrict access to a course, until they have completed a previous course. This appears to only restrict access to certain blocks within a course, until they have completed the course, but does not have an option to prevent access to an entire course until another course has been completed.

    Is this correct, or am I missing a way to do this? Thanks

    Hello Jeff,

    You are correct. with this plugin you can only restrict access to modules and sections.
    If you want to give access to a course, you need an enrol plugin: moodle-enrol_coursecompleted will do this job for you.

    Hi Renaat - thanks for your good work on this plugin. We use it in all our courses, to trigger completion certificates.

    We'd like to do one other thing when the course is marked "Complete": put a mark in the gradebook to show a "Pass" for the student. Your documentation indicates that you can do other things by using this course-completion-restriction plugin ("close discussion forums, hide quizes or exams when a user finished a course"), but I can't see any examples for those. Do you know how we could set a grade in a gradebook?

    Hi Stan,

    Sorry, this plugin cannot give grades, Moodle would simply not know where the grade was coming from. Because only activities can generate a grade, you'll need a module (lesson/quiz/workshop/...) to do the job. Perhaps the most simple way would be to add a quiz where students always pass?

    Hi Renaat - We understand that we need an activity to generate the grade. But we're looking for something that requires no human interaction - as soon as the course is marked "Complete", the activity triggers and inserts the grade. Any thoughts you have in that direction would be much appreciated.

    The easiest way is to create a basic mod plugin like mod_gradedbycompletion, waking up when a course is marked complete. My plugin enrols students when this event happens, your plugin can insert a grade.

    This way your gradebook, availability restrictions, groups and groupings, course completions, ... will continue to work fine.
