Questions Regarding Completion Tracking

Richard.W.228

Dear Community,

We are fairly new to Brightspace, an instructor has some questions about the Completion Tracking feature within Content Settings. The instructor would like to set her account's default to Not Required. Is it possible for that preference to be set by an individual without making the change for the entire institution? Secondly, she would like to know if there's a way in which students can change their individual setting to Required or in some comparable way if they would like to check items as completed.

I would appreciate your advice on this.

Thank you,

Hello @Richard.W.228, thanks for reaching out! Regarding your instructor's inquiry about setting the default completion tracking to Not Required, this adjustment can be made at the course level without affecting the entire institution. https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/6044-change-content-display-settings Instructors can modify the completion tracking settings for their specific courses by navigating to the Content area, selecting Settings and choosing the desired default completion status. I'd also connect you to this documentation for more information: https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/5220-track-content-completion-and-participation#manage-completion-tracking-settings-for-a-topic

As for students altering their individual completion tracking settings, I believe that this functionality is not available. But they can click Mark as Complete at the bottom of the topic page if the instructor has set the topic as requiring manual completion. https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/6051-navigate-course-content-in-the-new-learner-experience-or-in-the-new-content-experience-lessons

Hope this helps!
