[ARCHIVED] Module progress: unlocked vs in progress

[mwnewman]

This guide page says that when viewing student progress, a module can be in one of three states: completed, in progress, or locked. However, I am seeing that the "unlocked" state is also a possibility. What is the difference between "in progress" and "unlocked?" I am guessing that "unlocked" means they haven't done anything yet and "in progress" means they've done something but not everything that's required. Is this right? If so someone might wanna update the docs. I've spent a frustrating amount of time trying to figure this out and can't find the answer.

Good question @mwnewman! I was just looking for information about that "unlocked" state in module progress.  It should be in the documentation for tracking progress How-do-I-use-modules-to-view-the-progress-of-students-in-a-course.

I believe it means that the module is available to the student, but so far the student hasn't completed any module requirements.  It is not yet "in progress" which implies the module has been started. The progression is locked [optional state] --> unlocked (available) --> in progress --> complete.
