Why this matters
Understanding how completion is calculated helps you design Content items with clear expectations and track learner progress accurately. In GFoundry, completion is based on trackable blocks inside a Content item.
The tracked components
Completion is calculated from the user’s progress across the trackable block types you include in a Content item. The completion rate is the average of the components present.
Tracked components:
Slides (Presentation Content)
Video
PDF
Quiz
What counts as “complete” for each component
1. Slides
A learner must view every slide in the presentation from beginning to end.
2. Video
A learner must watch the video until the end. Progress is tracked by reaching the end of the file.
3. PDF
A PDF is marked as complete as soon as the learner opens the PDF.
4. Quiz
A quiz is complete when the learner successfully finishes it according to its rules. Important notes:
Battle Mode exception: playing a quiz in Battle Mode does not count towards Content completion.
Multiple active modes: if a quiz has more than one active mode (e.g., Classic + Genius), the learner must complete all active modes for the quiz component to be considered complete.
How the percentage is calculated
The final completion percentage is a simple average based on the number of tracked components in the Content item:
(Number of completed components / Total number of tracked components) × 100%
Examples
Example 1 - Content with only a Video
Completed components: 1
Total components: 1
Completion rate: 100%
Example 2 - Content with a Video and a Quiz
If the learner only completes the video:
Completed components: 1
Total components: 2
Completion rate: 50%
The learner must also complete the quiz to reach 100%.
Practical tip
You define what “100% complete” means by choosing which trackable components you include. If a completion rate is important for reporting or certificates, make sure your Content item contains only the components you truly want to require.
