The Activity completion report provides a comprehensive overview of the completion status of module-based activities by participants. to use the report effectively, a module should be carefully planned in a way that will identify the:

  • activities that warrant completion tracking
  • criteria that are associated with the tracking of completion
When a participant engages with a tracked Activity, they may automatically be provided with a record of completion when they satisfy the tracking criterion, which may, for example be that they have successfully completed a quiz by achieving a minimum score or that they have viewed a video.

Prerequisites
  1. Completion tracking must be enabled for the duration that a module is in use before it will be possible to use Activity completion reports. Completion tracking cannot be retrospectively activated in the expectation that it will provide reports on activity completion.
  2. Activity completion must also be enabled for each of the individual activities that are required to be tracked over the duration of a module's use. Like completion tracking, Activity completion cannot be retrospectively activated in the expectation that it will provide data for reports.

Understanding an Activity completion report

An Activity completion report will display one or two main types of checkboxes:

 Solid outlined checkbox with no checkmark.
Self-checked checkbox - presented with a continuous grey line around the outside.
This type of checkbox allows participants to self-check when they are satisfied they have completed an Activity.

An unchecked box, like shown left, indicates that the participant has not checked their own completion.
 Checkered checkbox with no checkmark.
Auto-checked checkbox - presented with a dashed grey line around the outside.
This type uses teacher-defined criteria to determine if the participant has satisfied the completion requirements.

An unchecked box, like shown, indicates that the activity has not been completed to the criterion's standard.
 Solid checkbox with a checkmark.
Self-checked checkbox -
The participant has checked their own completion.
 Checkered checkbox with checkmark.
Auto-checked checkbox -
The participant has satisfied the criteria specified for completion and has been so recorded by the platform independently.
 Red solid outlined checkbox with a checkmark.
Checked checkbox with a red border - may be continuous or dashed
The red border indicates that a teacher has manually marked this item as completed on behalf of a participant.
