This field works in conjunction with the Mark Completion by Learner field. If you enable learners to update the completion status for this assignment, you can require that they enter their passwords when changing the status to complete.

Mark Completion by Learner

Select to enable learners to update the completion status for this assignment. If you also select the Mark Completion by Manager check box, both the learner and the manager can update the status. (Learners can use the self-service Class Progress page to update the status.)

Mark Completion by Manager

Select to enable the learner's manager to update the completion status for this assignment. If you also select the Mark Completion by Learner check box, both the learner and the manager can update the status. (Managers can use the self-service Class Progress page to update the status.)

Instructors and administrators for the related class always have the ability to update the completion status for an assignment through the class's Component Roster page for that assignment.

URL 1 and URL 2 and URL 3

Enter up to three URLs for this component. These links can point to regular web-based documents, such as HTML and PDF files.

These links cannot point to SCORM or AICC compliant content. To create a learning component that is SCORM or AICC compliant, use the web-based learning component.
