If completion tracking has been enabled in Course administration > Edit settings, you can set completion conditions for each activity and resource via its settings. When enabled, a badge (in version 4.1) or a checkbox (in version 3.9) will appear next to the activity on the course outline page and a learner may either be allowed to tick it manually, or a tick will display once criteria for that particular activity have been metmark the activity as complete (if "Students can manually mark the activity as completed" is selected) or it will be automatically marked as done (if "Show activity as complete when conditions are met" is selected). This feature can be combined with with course completion so that when certain activities have been completed and/or grades obtained, the course itself is marked complete.
