Completion Criteria

Introduction

Completion Criteria let you define which chapters and exams count toward a successful completion of your cBook. This is especially important when your cBook is delivered through a Learning Management System (LMS), as the criteria determine when a participant's course status is reported as "completed" or "passed".

To access Completion Criteria, open your cBook's settings and select Completion Criteria from the sidebar menu.

Overview

The page shows a tree view of your cBook's structure — chapters with their exams and questions listed underneath. Next to each element, you can set whether it is required or optional. A legend on the right explains the meaning of each status icon.

At the bottom of the tree, you'll find summary fields for the overall cBook score and passing requirement. Don't forget to save your changes using the round Save button (disk icon) in the top-right corner.

Chapter Criteria

Each chapter in your cBook appears as a row with a checkbox:

Checked — The chapter must be worked through by the participant. It counts toward course completion.
Unchecked — The chapter is optional and does not count toward course completion.

Exam Criteria

Each exam appears with a status icon on the left. Click the icon to choose one of four options:

Must be passed (checkmark icon) — Participants must complete the exam and achieve at least the passing grade. This is the strictest requirement.
Must be completed (filled circle icon) — Participants must complete the exam at least once, but they don't need to pass it.
Must be started (half-circle icon) — Participants must at least start the exam. They don't need to finish or pass it.
Optional (hollow circle icon) — The exam does not count toward course completion.

Next to each exam, you'll see its passing grade displayed in italics (e.g., "Passing grade: 60% (60)"). The passing grade is configured in the exam's own settings, not here.

Credit Points System

By default, completion is tracked as a simple percentage — how much of the required content a participant has viewed or completed. For more fine-grained control, you can enable the Credit Points System.

Enabling Credit Points

Check the Use Credit Points System checkbox at the top of the page. This unlocks score fields next to chapters, exams, and questions.

How It Works

With credit points enabled, you assign point values to your content:

Chapters — Enter a score (max. 100) in the text field next to each chapter. This score only applies if the chapter is marked as required (checkbox checked). Optional chapters cannot have a score.
Exams and Questions — Each question within an exam gets its own score field. The exam's total score is automatically calculated as the sum of its question scores. You cannot edit the exam score directly — adjust the individual question scores instead. Question scores are only editable when the exam is set to "must be passed" or "must be completed".

Max. cBook Scores

At the bottom of the tree, the Max. cBook Scores field shows the total of all chapter and exam scores combined. This value is calculated automatically and cannot be edited directly. The total must not exceed 100.

Passing Requirement

Below the max score, the Passing Requirement field lets you set the minimum score a participant needs to achieve for the cBook to be reported as "passed". This field is only editable when the Credit Points System is enabled. The passing requirement cannot exceed the max cBook score.

Legend

The legend on the right side of the page explains all icons and statuses:

Chapters:

Checked checkbox — Participants must view the chapter
Unchecked checkbox — The chapter is optional

Exams:

Checkmark — Participants must pass the test
Filled circle — Participants must complete, but not necessarily pass the test
Half circle — Participants must at least start the test
Hollow circle — Optional content that does not count toward course completion

All-Optional Warning

If all chapters and exams are set to optional, a warning appears: the cBook will only report an "incomplete" status to the LMS. This can be intentional if you want to disable completion tracking entirely, but make sure this is what you actually want.
