When Are Courses Considered Completed?

The Course author, in conjunction with the features offered by the Course authoring tool, determines when a Course is considered to be “completed”. For example, an author can choose to set the Course to completed if the User (Course taker) answers all questions in an exam correctly.

WYSIWYG Courses - Completion of a WYSIWYG Course is depends on whether there is a LearnCenter post-Assessment. If there is no required LearnCenter post-Assessment, and the User visits the last page of the Course, the Course is considered completed. If there is a required post Assessment, the Course is considered complete if Users visit the last page of the Course and they pass the LearnCenter post-Assessment.
SCORM 1.2/AICC API Courses - These Course types are considered complete when the lesson_status is set to completed, passed or failed. In addition, a SCORM 1.2 Course goes down to complete if the lesson_status is set to “not attempted” and the SCO finishes its session with the LMS’ SCORM API adapter by calling LMSFinish.
SCORM 2004 Courses - These Course types are considered complete when the completion_status is set to completed. In addition, a SCORM 2004 Course goes down to complete when the User initiates a navigation request (exit, back, next, choosing another Course from the class’ table of contents) if the completion_status is “unknown” and the “Completion Set by Content” setting is “False”. The setting “Completion Set By Content” is provided in the SCORM package’s IMSManifest.xml file.
AICC HACP Courses - Setting a Course to “completed” depends on the setting for the Failed behavior (fail lesson_status). You can choose to keep a Course incomplete or change it to completed, but the Course may show a failed status in reports. The failed behavior setting offered by the LearnCenter determines how the Course’s lesson_status of “failed” is handled, set the Course to completed or incomplete. A lesson_status of “passed” or “completed” will always mark the Course as completed.
