Overview
This article demonstrates how Site Owners, Administrators, and Instructors can set requirements on their classrooms that restrict students from progressing until certain requirements are met. It also demonstrates these requirements from the student’s perspective.
Educators, which include Site Owners, Administrators, and Instructors, have the option to prevent students from advancing to the next activities in a course, with restrictions based on their completed/graded work.
Perspectives
Student Perspective
If a student is not able to advance to their next course activity without having met a certain grade in their previous course activity, they will see a notification in their course Library details. Once the student has met the advancement requirement(s), their next activity will appear and can move forward with the course.
Educator Perspective
Course advancement requirements are configured from a classroom’s settings and affect all course work assigned to students in that classroom.
To configure these settings:
Click Classrooms.
Select the classroom.
Click Settings on the top right corner.
Scroll down to the Schedule Settings section.
Activate the toggle next to Enable course advancement requirements? to enable course advancement requirements.
When toggled on, the following options will appear:
Minimum Lesson score percentage:
Require full lesson completion regardless of score
Only one selection can be selected when activating the Enable course advancement requirements? Toggle. Both sets of requirements cannot be activated at once.
Minimum lesson score percentage:
This selection restricts students from being able to start a new lesson until they have achieved a certain grade average in all activities in the previous lesson.
Type a number in the percentage text field to input the grade average
For example, if you type 75 into the percentage text field, students will not be able to start a new lesson until they have achieved at least an average 75% in their previous lesson.
Some activities are graded automatically, like multiple choice assignments, while some are graded manually by the instructor. Keep in mind some students may not be able to advance until all their assignments have been graded.
Require full lesson completion regardless of score
