Overview: course completion allows you to track learners’ progress in Flow Learning. There are two main ways to return a completion status back to the Flow Learning platform: by passing an assessment or completing the course’s content. Both are managed using the Extension functionality in Evolve.

Start from: a course on the Evolve platform.

Course completion by assessment

In this setting, a learner completes a course only when they have passed a final assessment. This is generally the best option for compliance courses, to ensure learners have understood the information in the course.

• Select Extensions (the puzzle piece icon) on the vertical, left-hand tab when in the chosen course.
• Select Course Assessment in the Enabled Extensions section on the left-hand side.
• Complete the fields in the Course Assessment settings that appears:
  • General: set up the feedback that the learner will see when they have finished the assessment. Scroll down to Assessment Feedback and insert the feedback text. For example:
  • Passed feedback: “You have scored the _% required to pass your ___ resource. Congratulations! You have now successfully completed this resource. Its key learning points are summarised in each of the Bottom line sections…”
  • Behaviour: set up the assessment questions, the pass score and how the learner interacts with the assessment:
• Set up the Pass Mark Percentage: this is the minimum score required to pass the course.
• Select your questions showing on the Assessment Page.
• Select the Disable show answer toggle button to ensure your assessment remains intensive and the learner isn’t given the answer.
• Select the Allow Assessment Retakes? Toggle button to enable the learner to try again if they fail the assessment.
• Set the number of Retake Attempts to 0 and then select the Allow Unlimited Retake Attempts to ensure learners can try the assessment as many times as they need to pass.
• Select the Hide Retake on Assessment Passed to ensure the learner doesn’t receive a fail mark after they have received a pass mark.
• Set the Retake Navigation dropdown to First Assessment Question Page.
• Scroll down and ignore the rets of the settings until Assessment Completed Dialog, as these settings refer to standalone assessment results page, which we don’t use. 
• Select the Disable Course Assessment Completed Dialog to remove the standalone assessment results page.
• Scroll to the Assessment results section and select the Show Score as Percentage and ensure that the Questions Completes Counter, the Questions Correctly Answered Counter and the Attempts Taken Counter are all marked as Show.
• Ignore the Hero Image and Appearance tabs, as they both refer to the standalone assessment page, which is not used in this case.

Course settings

Once you have set up the Course Assessment extension as needed, you must ensure that the course settings are correct.

• Select Course settings (the cog icon) in the vertical, left-hand tab in your course.
• Navigate to the Behaviour tab.
• Select Assessment Completion in the Select how your course should set a status drop-down menu. This will se the course as complete in the system once the assessment has been completed and passed.

Course Attainment

You can also set up a course to be marked as complete only once the learner has completed all of the interactive components in the course.

Set up the Course Completion button (own article)

• Add an Action button component at the end of the course. Complete the fields in the following tabs:
  • General: add a button description to the Body field.
  • Button: add button text (Confirm completion)
  • Behaviour: apply the following settings;
    • Set Button action to No action.
    • Set Completion status on Click.
    •  Set Disable Button on Click? To Keep Active.

Locking the completion button

• Go to the Extensions tab (the puzzle piece on the left-hand tool bar).
• Enable Content Locking.
• Navigate back to the Completion Button article. Select Content locking in the dropdown menu and apply the following settings:
  • Select locking type > Components.
  • Select all interactive components you want the learners to read for the completion button to unlock.

Set up the Couse Attainment Extension

• Go to the Extensions tab (the puzzle piece on the left-hand tool bar).
• Select the Course Attainment extension and select the checkbox to enable it. You will be taken to the Course Attainment settings.
• Select the Should Hide Summary? and the Disable notification popup toggle buttons in the Behaviour tab.
• Set the Course Attainment Method option to Components and then select the Course completion action button, also in the Behaviour tab.

Course settings

• Go to the Course settings tab (the cog icon) on the left-hand vertical tool bar.
• Choose Course completion in the Select how your course should set a status dropdown menu in the Behaviour tab. This will set the course as complete in the system once the course has been completed

Course progress bars

Also within the Course settings > Behaviour tab, under the Page Completion Display Method dropdown, you can choose the settings of how to show the progress completion for each page of your menu. We recommend Set in Individual Pages, as this allows us to set the completion based on specific components for each page.

Set page progress bars

• Navigate to each page and select the top box that contains the page header.
• Select Behaviour > Set Page Completion Display Method to Selected page components, on the right-hand dropdown list.
• Set Select Page Components to all interactive components on that page. Ideally, these should match the components you have selected above for the Attainment Method.
