Key considerations when designing your course for the mobile learning
Activity completion - 24th January
Activity completion allows the teacher to set completion criteria in a specific activity's settings. A check (tick) appears against the activity when the student meets this criterion. The criterion might be viewing, receiving a certain score or a student marking it as complete. It is a particularly useful feature if you want to "track"/report on a students engagement with your course. This webinar outlines various scenarios where you could use this facility and the benefits of doing so
Conditional access - 31st January
In the settings of each activity there is a Restrict Access section. This feature is parricularly useful if you want to restrict certain activities to students unless they are members of a particular group or have completed a previsou activity e.g. submitted an assignment. To get to this, click 'Edit' alongside the activity you want to restrict and then choose 'Edit Settings', or add a new activity, which will bring you to the settings page.In the 'Restrict Access' section of the activity settings page, click the 'Add restriction' button.
