Types of Courses in Relation with Activities Completion
In relation with the activities completion, there are three types of courses, as follows:
- Courses that are completed once you solve all the related activities
- Courses that are completed once you solve the final activity
- Courses that are completed once all course videos are viewed
The course type is specified by the course teacher while creating it, whether it includes multiple activities or just one final activity that determines the course passing score. This applies to courses that are not part of a track, and consequently do not have an end date. Their completion is subject to the status of their activities submission.
As for the courses that are part of a track, they become completed once the track end date is due even if none of the course activities are submitted whether the final activities or the multiple activities.
