Completion Progress Block

Set Up

Note: In order to track an item using Completion Progress the Activity Completion must be set for that item.

1. Click on Course Dashboard underneath your Contents area.

 

2. Click the Edit Blocks button.
   

 

3. Scroll down to “Add a block”

 

4. From the dropdown select Completion Progress.

 

5. Scroll up until you find the Completion Progress block. To configure the block click the gear symbol in the upper right and choose “Configure Completion Progress block.”

 

6. The first four settings deal with the appearance of the block.

 

• “Order bar by” determines the order of the items displayed in the bar. The default is “Time using ‘Expect completed on’ date.” When this is set, items are ordered by their expected completion date. Items that don’t have an expected completion date are ordered using their order on the course page. Also, when this is set the NOW indicator is visible, showing the student where they are in the set of items. If you want them ordered strictly by their order on the course page, choose “Ordering in course.” When this is set the expected completion dates are ignored and the NOW indicator is not visible.
• The options for “How to present long bars” (displaying the items tracked in the bar) include the default Squeeze (squeezed into one horizontal bar), Scroll (a scroll bar to show overflowing items), or Wrap (all items on multiple lines).
• By default, the boxes representing each item will only be colored (green for completed, red for not completed, blue for in progress). If you wish to include either a check (completed) or x (not completed) as well, change “Use icons in bar” to Yes.
• To show an overall percentage of progress to students set “Show percentage to students” to Yes.

7. Click “Show more” under "Show percentage to students" to see additional settings.

8. If you only want this Completion Progress block to be visible to a specific group, select the group in the “Visible only to group”

 

9. By default the block will be titled Completion Progress. If you wish to title it something else, enter your desired title in the Alternate Title This is especially important if you are using more than one Completion Progress block in your course.

10. By default all activities with Activity Completion set are included. To track only a select number of items, change Activities included to “Selected activities” and then select the items you wish to track. Hold the CTRL key to select multiple items.

 

11. Click "Save changes" at the bottom of the page.
