Enabling Completion tracking in a class
First, Completion tracking must be enabled in the class.
To do so, go to Administration > Class Administration > Edit settings. Once on the class settings page, go to the Completion tracking section, and choose 'Yes' for 'Enable completion tracking'.
Choosing 'Yes' for 'Show activity completion conditions' means that you will display the conditions to be met for each tracked activity in your class where the activity completion conditions (see below) are set to 'Show activity as complete when conditions are met (Automatic approach)'.
Also note that you will now get a 'Mark as done' button where where the activity completion conditions (see below) are set to 'Students can manually mark the activity as completed (Manual approach)'.

Completion tracking options
