Advanced Activity Options IS-k-5_implementation-editor_course-activity_settings-advanced_activity_options.png

The advanced options include how a student will go about submitting an activity. If the activity is not gradable, they will have the options to mark the activity complete or view the activity for a set length of time for the activity to be submitted as complete. If the activity is gradable, some options for how the student will submit the activity will change.

    • Marks this activity as complete: Student will click “Mark Activity as Complete” and will submit the activity, allowing the student to continue.
    • Views this activity for a specified amount of time: Will need to populate the “Required minutes for completion” time. The amount of minutes entered will be the amount of time that the student will need to spend within the activity before it submits as complete and allows the student to continue.
    • Student must complete this activity before continuing to the next one: This option will make the student complete and submit the activity prior to moving to the next.
