"Mark as done" button
The "Mark as done" button appears by default under each resource or activity on the course website for both the lecturer and the students.
A student who has completed an activity can click the button to mark themselves as completed. The lecturer has the option to set conditions for completing an activity and even specify that this button will not appear under certain activities or resources, or will not appear at all on the course website.
1. Click the "Completion" button next to a resource or an activity. From a student's perspective, a list of requirements for the activity to be considered as completed.
2. Once a student has completed the activity, the button (from their perspective) will change to "Done".
3. Other activities or resources will simply require the students to manually click "Mark as done". After clicking on it, the button will change to "Done".
The instructor can track the completion of the activity using the "Activity Completion" Report located on the course Reports page, in the top management bar of the course website.
A lecturer can set conditions for completing an activity, and in this way monitor and see that students have completed the activity in the "Activity Completion" Report.
1. Go to the resource/activity settings.
2. In the "Activity Completion" section, you can set "Completion Tracking" according to the resource conditions, as well as set a completion date, in the field "Expect completed on".
