Tracking student progress (optional)

Module requirements in Canvas require students to complete the defined requirements within the module before the module will be marked complete.

 
Optional

Setting module requirements on the Modules page in Canvas is an optional technique for instructors who wish to track student progress in a module or through a course.

Module requirements can be used as one way to track student progress through your course. You can set up requirements that students must meet in order for a module to be marked complete. These requirements may include:

  • Require the student to view the item, such as a Content Page

  • Require the student to mark an item as done

  • Require the student to contribute a post in a non-graded discussion

  • Require the student to submit an assignment, or make a post in a graded discussion

  • Require the student to reach a certain minimum score on an assignment or a quiz

You can require students to complete the requirements in sequential order if that is important.

You can also set up module prerequisites, where students are required to complete a prerequisite module before they are given access to another module.
