If you so wish, you may apply any of the following Moodle features to your embedded reading lists in Moodle.
1. Activity tracking
Activity tracking allows the facilitator to set completion criteria in a specific activity's settings. A check (tick) appears against the activity e.g. a reading list when the student meets this criterion. The criterion might be viewing or a student marking a reading list as complete. Read more
You can set up completion tracking for your course reading list so that the reading list first needs to be read / mark completed before assignments are accessed.
2. Course completion
Course completion can show if a reading list has been completed. It can show the progress a student is making towards finishing the reading list according to specific criteria. Read more
3. Badges
Badges are a good way of celebrating achievement and showing progress, for a reading list also. Badges may be awarded based on a variety of chosen criteria and may be displayed on a user's profile. Read more
4. Stash
The stash block is a good way to encourage more interaction with activities such as reading lists, and is invaluable for instructors looking to gamify their course. Read more
5. Competencies
Competencies describe the level of understanding or proficiency of a student in certain subject-related skills. Competency-based education refers to systems of assessment and grading where students demonstrate these competencies. Reading / completing the reading list can be one of them. Read more
