Setting the completion and pass rates of your course

Progress and score are the two metrics you use to evaluate a learner‘s success in a course.

Viewing pages and completing interactions contribute to their progress while answering questions contributes to their score. Both are measured in percentages. 

There are two modes to choose from, each of which defines whether your course reports progress or score.

• Interaction which will mean the learner's success is judged only using progress; success awards a Completed status for the learning.
• Assessment which will mean the learner's success is judged only using their score; success awards Passed

Once you select the mode, you can then use the controls to set the minimum percentage value the learner needs to achieve to be successful. You can change these settings at any time but you will need to re-release for the new settings to be reflected in a live course. See Next steps for more information.

Choosing a mode

1. Open your Project
2. Open Settings from the top toolbar
   
   
    
3. Choose Questions & Completion
4. Open Course Completion to reveal the completion settings
   
   

Setting a completion rate

1. Choose Interaction to reveal the progress percentage slider
   
   
2. Set the slider under What percentage of pages must a learner view to complete the Project? to specify the percentage required for successful course completion

For example, setting the slider to 90 means that your learners will need to view and complete 90% or more of the course in order to achieve a Completed status in their LMS.

Setting a pass rate

1. Open Assessment
   
   
2. Set the slider under What percentage of questions a learner must answer correctly to pass? to specify the the minimum score value your learners need to pass the course.
   
   For example, setting the slider to 80 means that your learners need to achieve a score of 80% or more before they're awarded a Passed status in their LMS.

Next steps

Here are some additional resources that cover the next steps once you've set your completion and pass rates.

• If you’re using the Assessment mode, you should configure your questions so that learners can achieve a score for answering them. See Setting up your questions to report a score to learn more.
• Once you’ve configured your success metrics, you may be ready to distribute your elearning course. To find out more, see Publishing your first Online Link course or Publishing your first SCORM course. 
• If you’ve changed these metrics on a live course, you’ll also need to create a re-release to update it. See Updating a live course with re-release for more information.
