Restricting Access: Optional Settings & Activity Completion (Moodle Quiz)

In This Article:

Add A Restriction

There are additional ways to restrict access to activities and resources:

1. Activity Completion Screen with one restriction:
   
   
   
   Example or multiple restrictions:
   
   
   
   

   Note on Grade Restriction from Moodle.org:

   You can specify a condition on any grade in the course: the full course grade, the grade for any activity, or a custom grade that you create manually. You can enter either a minimum value (at least percentage), a maximum value (less than percentage), both, or neither. The activity will only appear if the student has a value for the specified grade, and if it falls within any specified number range. You can add more than one grade condition. All conditions must be met in order for the activity to appear.

   • The range numbers can be fractional (with up to five decimal places) if necessary.
   • Be careful with the maximum value; if the maximum is 7, a student who scores exactly 7 will not see the activity. You could set it to 7.01 if you really wanted to include 7.
   • If creating several different activities that appear according to grade ranges, use the same number for the maximum of one activity, and the minimum of the next. For example, you might create one activity with a maximum of 7 and another with a minimum of 7. The first would appear to everyone scoring between 0 and 6.99999, and the second would appear to everyone scoring 7.00000 to 10. This guarantees that everyone with a grade will see one or other.To remove a grade condition, set the assessment name to 'none' and remove the range number values.
2. Group:  You must have "Groups" set for your course to use this restriction.
3. Grouping:  Must be enabled to use.
4. User Profile: Any of the profile field can be used.
5. Restriction Set: Similar to restrictions in "Conditional Access". To remove this condition, click the "X".

Add A Second Restriction

1. To add a second restriction, click the Add restriction button.

   "Hiding" Conditions

   • If the eye is SHUT then students who do not meet that part of the condition will not see the activity at all.
   • If the eye is OPEN the students who do not meet that part of the condition will see the activity but it will be greyed out and have information about why they can't access it yet.

   The "shut" eye takes precedence. For example, you could have 2 conditions, one based on date (with eye shut) and one based on completing a previous activity (with eye open). That way, the activity will not appear at all until the date; then it will appear, but tell you that you need to complete the other activity; then when you complete the other activity you can access it.

   For "OR" and "NOT/AND" type conditions, you only get a single eye icon instead of one for each condition.

Activity Completion (separate from Restrict Access)

This must be activated at the "Course Management" > "Edit" settings level first.

This can be used  very simplistically or can be used in conjunction with Restrict Access.

In it's simplest form, the student will see a check box beside each item in their Moodle course and depending upon the settings here, can manually mark it as complete or you mark it as complete.

Completion tracking:

• Students can manually mark the activity as completed
• Show activity as complete with conditions are met
• Do not indicate activity completion

Conditions are:

• Require view
• Require a grade
• Require a passing grade or all available attempts completed

Expect completed on: Optional.
