Activity completion allows the teacher to set completion criteria in a specific activity's settings. The criterion might be viewing, receiving a certain score or a student marking it as complete. - moodle.org

  6. Scroll down to Activity completion.
    Choose between:
    • Do not indicate activity completion (No completion tracking; automatically selected when activity is created)
    • Students can manually mark the activity as completed (The activity will have a solid box that the student can check at any time)
    • Show activity as complete when conditions are met (The activity will have a dotted line box that will automatically become checked when the student meets the required conditions)

If enabled, Activity completion is tracked, either manually or automatically, based on certain conditions. Multiple conditions may be set if desired. If so, the activity will only be considered complete when ALL conditions are met.
