Progress Tracking

How your platform measures each learner's progress through a lesson and rolls it up into overall course progress.

Every time a learner opens a lesson, takes a quiz, or works through your content, your platform quietly keeps track of how far they have got. Learners see a progress bar; you see exactly who is on track and who has stalled.

What gets tracked for each activity

Every activity has a simple status:

Status	What it means
Not started	The learner has not opened it yet.
In progress	They have started but not finished.
Completed	They have met the completion rule for that activity.

Alongside the status, your platform also records:

Time spent on the activity.
A resume position for video and audio, so a learner can pick up exactly where they left off.

Smart video and audio tracking

Video and audio are tracked carefully so progress is honest:

It records which parts of the video the learner actually watched — not just how long the player was open.
If a learner jumps back and re-watches a section, that part is not counted twice. Overlapping views are merged.
From this, it works out a true watched percentage.
When the learner returns, the video resumes from where they stopped.

This means a learner cannot finish a video just by dragging the progress slider to the end. They have to genuinely watch it (up to whatever threshold you set in the completion rule).

How course progress adds up

A course's progress percentage is simple:

Course progress = items completed ÷ total available items

"Available items" means the lessons, quizzes, and assignments that this learner can actually access. Content that is hidden from them or restricted does not count for or against them.

Programs that contain other courses

A learning path or cohort can contain whole courses inside it. When a learner finishes one of those inner courses, the parent program's progress updates right away — there is no waiting and no manual refresh needed.

What the learner sees

A progress bar on each course showing how far along they are.
A clear tick or "Completed" marker on every lesson they have finished.
Their video resuming at the exact spot they last reached.

Good to know

Progress is sticky: once an activity is marked completed, it stays completed. Going back to review it will not undo their progress.
When a course reaches 100%, it can trigger a completion notice and, if set up, automatically issue a certificate.
The rule for what counts as done is fully in your control — see Completion rules.
