Course recompletion
This plugin adds course level settings for recompletion - clearing all course and activity completion for a user based on the duration set notifying the student they need to return to the course and recomplete it.
This plugin could be used to facilitate annual re-certification.
This plugin deletes existing course completion and activity completion data based on the schedule set by the teacher including the ability to delete Quiz and SCORM attempts within the course. You can also choose to retain the quiz and SCORM attempts within archive tables within the recompletion plugin. Limited reporting functionality on the archive tables is avaialble using custom report builder sources. (see Reportbuilder docs for more info.)
The following information is cleared from the course during recompletion:
- All activity grades cleared (and saved to standard grade history tables.)
- All activity completion and course completion flags removed. (with the option to archive this information)
Reporting on data archived by the plugin can be done using Moodle's custom reports feature:
https://docs.moodle.org/en/Custom_reports
The following activities currently allow their data to be deleted and archived:
-
Assignment - You can also choose to give the student another attempt (if the assignment is configured to allow reopening and the maximum number of attempts has not been reached.
Quiz - You can keep the existing attempts and give the student the ability to add new attempts.
-
Choice activity.

Other activities that store user data will have the activity completion data reset, but may require manual intervention as they are not yet supported fully. Get in touch privately if you would like to fund support for other activities with user data.

I just noticed the user can reset their own completion functionality. Very handy. But I ran into another issue, I end dated a course as it was a retired test course. When I attempted to delete the course, it sent me a Recertification Notification. As an administration, should we be disabling the course recompletion for the course(s) before we delete a course?
Kind Regards, Shirley
Does the plugin universally delete all users completion data after a set period or is the data deleted based on a users start date.
For instance a user registers and starts a course on 5/1/20 and the plugin was set for 6 months on 1/1/20. Will this user have 6 months to complete the course or will the data be deleted on 6/1/20?
Thanks for great plugin. But I have a question.
What is the trigger for the plugin to delete attempts?
Asking, because I unlocked Course completion to add additional items left out before and cron recalculated course completion with new items, putting today's date as a completion date.
I'm worried that plugin is looking on this date now.
Was curious if you could point me in a direction to solve a problem. It seems your plugin does not reset attempts for H5P based activities. Was hoping I could modify it myself. I'm pretty handy with PHP but Moodle is a bit of a beast. Any pointers?
Maybe you could help me with something. The CRON task "Check for users that need to recomplete" does not run for me but adds a fail delay every time. Do you have an idea what could have gone wrong? We have moodle 3.6
In the log file for CROn we see this:
Execute scheduled task: Check for users that need to recomplete (local_recompletion\task\check_recompletion)

Thanks!
I have been using your plugin for some time, and have had a course recomplete after 365 days. Meanwhile, I have been tracking how long it takes a user from time of enrollment in a course to how long it takes that person to complete the course. I have been doing this via SQL with information in the database tables (Moodle Adminer plugin).
Now that my course has recompleted I am having trouble finding the actual date that the course reset for a user. Is this date of when course recompletes (resets) available in the database somewhere?
