Course completion in more detail

5. Manual self-completion

The next section is 'manual self completion' and, if this is enabled by adding a tick into the box, a student can choose to state that they have completed the course.

If this is used, a 'self completion' block also needs to be added to the main course screen.  This provides the link for the student to say that they have completed the course.

(When clicked on the student is taken to a confirmation page where they can click on 'yes' or 'no' to confirm if they want to state that they have completed the online course).

It is important to note that when self-completion is used it overrides the activity and course completion options.  This means that a student can choose to complete the course even if the required elements have not been completed.

However, it can be useful for self-assessed courses where students are developing their own skills and taking control over their own learning.  If this is the case, it can be a useful feature for a pre-requisite course as it will not need to require the teachers input.
