Setting Completion Rules

In the course editor, open More → Settings. The Course Settings panel slides in from the right, grouped into collapsible sections: Completion & Scoring, Cover & Navigation, Availability Window, Prerequisites, Content Settings, Drip Content and Notifications.

Changes are not saved as you type. Click Save Settings at the bottom of the panel; it confirms with “Saved”. The rules are read when a learner starts a session, so a learner already partway through keeps the rules they started with.

Passing score is the percentage a learner needs for the course to be marked passed. The default is 80%.

It is measured across the whole course: when the learner finishes, Scormbusters adds up the points they scored on every question and divides by the points available. If that is at or above the passing score the course is passed, otherwise failed. A course with no scored questions is simply completed. There is no separate pass mark per lesson.

Max attempts limits how many times a learner can start the course. Leave it blank for unlimited. When a learner has used every attempt, starting the course again is refused with “Maximum attempts reached”.

Available from and Available until set when learners can open the course. Before the start date, or after the end date, starting the course is refused as not available. Leave both blank for always available, or set just one to open on a date or close on a date.

Under Drip Content you can also schedule individual lessons: unlock a lesson a number of days after the learner enrolled, or on a fixed date.

Three settings in the panel are stored with the course but are not yet applied to learners. Do not rely on them to restrict access:

• Time limit (minutes): no timer is shown and nothing is submitted when the time passes.
• Prerequisites: you can tick other courses from the list, but learners are not blocked from starting.
• Require sequential completion (Content Settings, off by default): learners can still open lessons in any order.

Issue completion certificate is on by default. You can set the certificate title and an “Authorized by” name and role. The certificate page uses your organization's logo, name and brand color from Settings → Branding, and shows the learner's name, the course, the completion date and a Certificate ID.

Learners find it under the Certificates tab of My Learning and use Print Certificate; to keep a PDF, choose “Save as PDF” in the browser's print dialog.
