Re-Applying Course Completion Criteria

Question

I have a course that has been completed by a number of users. I would like to reduce the number of activities that are required to be completed for the course to be deemed complete. When I unlock the course completion settings and uncheck the activity and re-apply the course completion criteria, everyone's course completion turns to incomplete. How do I re-apply the new course completion criteria to all those users who have already completed the course?

Answer 1

I believe even if you modify the course completion criteria to less activities, once your cronjob (scheduled tasks) runs the completion will be stored for the users that previously had the completion.

eg

• Initial course completion criteria: A, B and C activities.
• Users: 123 and 456 completed A, B and C activities.
• New course completion criteria: A and B, hence the completion records for the course will be removed and recalculated in the next cronjob (Moodle scheduled tasks) run.
