Below you will find instructions for setting up your completion criteria.
Use Case Information
On any content, 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 marked as complete. It can also be used to award any certificates that you add.
Tip
For more information on adding a certificate, see our Attaching a Certificate in a Course article.
Adding Completion Criteria
- From your homepage, select Courses > All Courses.
- Click the Content Title for the content you want to add or edit Completion Criteria.
- Navigate to the Completion step.
- To add, click Add Completion Criteria. To edit, click the Pencil Icon.
Note
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.
- Click the drop-down to Select a Criteria Type.
- 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.
- Click Save.
Completion Criteria Options
Note
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.
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.
Percentage of Video Viewed
The learner is required to view a specific percentage of the video. Video watch percentage is tracked across multiple sessions. For example, if a learner watches the first half a video in one session and the second half in another, the platform recognizes that the user watched 100% of the video.
Assignment Complete
Select an assignment that must be completed.
Assessment Passed
Select one of the course assessments that must be completed.
Page Viewed
Select a specific course page that must be viewed.
Meeting Attended
The learner must attend the meeting to satisfy this criteria.
Time Spent Viewing
The learner must consecutively view the content for the time amount specified.
Survey Gizmo Complete
The SurveyGizmo must be complete to satisfy this criteria.
SCORM Complete
The SCORM file must return a ‘complete’ status to satisfy the criteria.
xAPI Complete
The xAPI file must return a ‘complete’ status to satisfy the criteria.
FAQs
What happens if an admin removes a completion criterion after a learner has started a course?
If an admin deletes a completion requirement (e.g., viewing 90% of a course) after a learner has already started, the original criteria remain locked in for that learner. Even though the admin no longer sees the requirement, the learner must still meet it to complete the course. To avoid this issue, we recommend either not deleting completion criteria after learners have started or understanding that some learners may remain in progress based on the original requirements.
How does adding or removing pages affect the percent viewed requirement?
If a course has a percent viewed completion requirement, adding or removing pages will adjust the learner’s progress percentage. For example, adding pages may decrease a learner’s viewed percentage, while removing pages may increase it. This can impact course completion tracking, so we recommend making structural changes before learners start or being mindful that modifications can affect their progress.
