Setting Up Completion Criteria

On a course, you can set a range of completion options for a learner. This completion criteria will then determine whether or not your learner is eligible to be awarded any certificates that you add.  

Below you will find instructions for setting up your completion criteria. For more information on adding a certificate, see our Attaching a Certificate in a Course article.

3. Click Add Completion Criteria.
4. Click the drop-down to Select a Criteria Type:
   01

   Percentage of Pages Viewed

   Enter a % required of the course in total to be viewed. When using this criteria type we do not recommend using 100%, as some pages may not be as important as others.

   02

   Percentage of Video Viewed

   The learner is required to view a specific percentage of the video.

   03

   Assignment Complete

   Select an assignment that must be completed.

   04

   Select one of the course assessments that must be completed.

   05

   Page Viewed

   Select a specific course page that must be viewed.

   06

   Meeting Attended

   The learner must attend the meeting to satisfy this criteria.

   07

   Time Spent Viewing

   The learner must consecutively view the content for the time amount specified.

   08

   Survey Gizmo Complete

   The SurveyGizmo must be complete to satisfy this criteria.

   09

   SCORM Complete

   The SCORM file must return a ‘complete’ status to satisfy the criteria.

   10

   xAPI Complete

   The xAPI file must return a ‘complete’ status to satisfy the criteria.

5. Make sure to fill out all required fields such as a specific page or a percentage.
   
   Note

   Pages must have a title & be published in order to show in the required drop down menu.

6. Click Save.

What else do I need to know?

• Multiple completion criteria options can be added to a single course, but they will all have equal weight. Example: If you have two criteria, each criteria will be worth 50% of course completion to the learner. To add more than one option, click Add Completion Criteria.
• The course must have the page types associated with the completion criteria for the option to be available. For example, for the Assignment Complete criteria to be an option, an Assignment page has to be present in the course.
