Course Completion Tracking

This article relates to how course completion is set and measured.

There are two simple ways for an author to set completion when building a course in Cognise. The author chooses one. Each is set in Course build mode and can be accessed under Settings, then select Tracking.

Under Settings set an amount you wish the user to view in order to complete the course.

The creator can also track blocks. Tracked blocks do not determine completion when Course % Viewed is set.

Below is an example where the Completion Tracking is set to Course % viewed and the creator is also tracking blocks. To view the tracked blocks, click the 'View Tracked Blocks' button and then the user can quickly navigate to and from any tracked blocks.

Under Settings select block tracking. Then, in your course any block you wish to have tracked click through and turn on tracking and the tracked block will appear under Block Tracking in Settings and you can also quickly navigate to that block from there too.

Not all blocks support tracking.

The following blocks are trackable: Quiz, Knowledge Check, Video, Audio, Button, Link, HTML, and Accept. Here's a brief description of how tracking currently works for each.

Quiz

Completes when the quiz questions have all been submitted. The result state is Pass, or Fail - both will show as as the block being completed.

Knowledge Check

Completes when the Knowledge Check has been submitted. The does not mean passed. A Completed or Failed state will result in the block being completed.

Video

Completes when 85% of the video has been viewed (or the seek bar has been dragged to 85% or more).

Audio

Completes when 85% of the audio has been played (or the seek bar has been dragged to 85% or more).

Button

Completes when the button has been clicked.

Link

Completes when any link displayed is clicked.

HTML

This block type is only trackable when SCORM is enabled on the HTML content uploaded. It completes when the SCORM module is complete. The can also result in a failed state.

At the block to have it track you click on the pencil to Edit the block. The example below shows editing a Knowledge Check. Note: You can rename the default title provided.

In reporting, when the course has block tracking on, any block tracked will be seen on the single learning report data grid. For each block tracked an additional column appears on the right end. These column Headers will be named the same as the tracked block title. Below we have left as the defaults you see when adding the block.
