By default, completion tracking is enabled in Moodle courses. This functionality helps students keep better track of which tasks they have already completed. Completion tracking also calculates the completion percentage for each course and displays it at the bottom of the course card on the My Courses page.

Completion tracking is determined by the settings defined by the teacher. By default, students can manually mark tasks as completed within the course area. However, if the teacher requires specific criteria for an activity to be marked as completed, an information box will appear detailing what needs to be done.

You can check completion tracking in the table of contents on the left-hand menu of the course area. When completion tracking is enabled for a resource or activity, a dot appears next to its name. The dot becomes filled once you fulfill the completion conditions or mark the task as completed.

Completion progress block

The teacher can also add a Progress Tracking block to the right side of the course page. In this block, the teacher can define which tasks appear in progress tracking. For example, the teacher can organize multiple progress tracking blocks based on different themes within the course area, making it easier for students to understand the overall structure of the course.

In the Completion progress block, you can hover your mouse over the bars to get more detailed information about completed and incomplete tasks. By clicking on a blue square in the bar, you can navigate directly to an incomplete task.
