Completion check mark for lessonsOnce you see all the pages in a lesson, you will see a check mark
inside the box next to the lesson name on the homepage, indicating that

have skipped one or more pages in between. |
How to save your own blog entriesIf you have written blog entries as part of a course, you may want to keep a record of all your entries to read them later on (for example, when you wish to remind yourself of what you learnt in the course). You can look at your own blog entries by going to your profile and clicking Blog entries (under the Miscellaneous heading). Then use the save or print feature in your web browser to save a copy of the page that you see. This page shows a maximum of 10 entries. If you have written more than 10 entries, you will see links to access the other pages with your entries and you can save/print all the pages one by one. |

Percentage completion figure in Moodle Mobile appIf you use the Moodle Mobile app on your mobile device to access a course, you may see a percentage completion figure under your course on the app homepage (after you've logged in). This figure may be inaccurate in some cases -- this is a shortcoming of the Moodle app and not something we at INASP can control. Please do not use this figure to determine your progress in the course. You may as well ignore it. What is important is to check the completion criteria for the course and any other information given in the course on how to track your progress. |

[Anonymisation of survey responses]We may combine or correlate the responses in the feedback survey with
the responses in the pre-course survey to understand the influence of
different factors on course participation. However, in doing any such
analysis, we will be using anonymised numeric
identifiers and not real names. Further, for reporting purposes we may
use anonymised data or quotes from this survey. (You can also look at our privacy policy to learn how we use the data we collect.) While we ask you to
complete this survey to meet the completion criteria for the course,
your actual responses will not have any bearing
on your course completion status. |
