Completion Progress block

The Completion Progress block displays a personalised view of an individual student’s activity completion in the site. It can display the completion status of all activities in the site or display only specific activities set by teaching staff.

The block is visible to students and staff with teaching access, providing a simple indication of student progress through the key activities in a subject site. In addition, staff with teaching access (Site access as Site Coordinator, Teaching Staff, Non-editing Tutor and Non-grading Tutor) can access a report which consolidates the completion progress of all students in the site. Teaching staff can also filter this report to display progress of individual students.

Why?

The Completion Progress block provides students with a simple summary of their progress through a subject site. Generally, the block is most effective when the activities represented are curated. Too much information and it becomes difficult for the students to know where to focus, too little and they may not be able to get an accurate feel for how they are progressing through the subject.

Below are two examples of Completion Progress blocks.

1. This first example displays every activity and resource with activity completion switched on in the subject site.
   While there is no inherent issue with having activity completion enabled on this many activities and resources, we should not have this many activities displayed in the Completion Progress block, as it can be visually overwhelming for students.
   
2. This second example displays a carefully selected list of only the most critical activities or resources in the subject site.
   This example is less visually overwhelming and helps students to focus primarily on monitoring the key activities and resources.
