Activity completion lets students know when they have a certain number of assignments to complete or items to view; this information is displayed underneath each section in the form of "Progress" information.

You must turn tracking on for your course to use activity completion. (For information on how to turn on course Completion Tracking, see this tutorial: Turning On Completion Tracking)

Step 1	Create or edit an existing activity or resource.
Step 2	On the left side in the settings area, expand Activity completion.  Settings include: Completion tracking: If enabled, activity completion is tracked, either manually or automatically, based on certain conditions. Multiple conditions may be set if desired. A check next to the activity name on the course page indicates that the activity is complete. Require view: If enabled, the resource or activity is considered complete when a student views the resource. Expect completed On: This setting specifies the date when the resource or activity is expected to be completed. The date is not shown to students and is only displayed in the activity completion report. Check this option to enable and set a date. Once you have set the options, choose Save and return to course or Save and Display.
Step 3	Discussions have additional activity completion settings: Require posts: Student must post discussions or replies. Require discussions: Student must create a certain number of discussions before the forum is considered complete. Require replies: Student must post a certain number of replies before the forum is considered complete. Once you have set the options, choose Save and return to course or Save and display. For more information, please see: Activity Completion Tracking (Open LMS Documentation).
Step 4	When an activity has been set as required for activity completion, students will see a "To do" message in the activity with information about what must be done to receive the "done" designation.
Step 5	When they have completed the activity, the message will change to "Done."
Step 6	Want to see what students have successfully completed in your course? Click on the Reports and on the resulting page select Activity Completion
Step 7	On the resulting screen, you'll see a table with student names and each of the activities in the columns, with green circles for any activities that were completed by the student and gray circles for those that have not yet been completed
