[Modules] Time as a module requirement for progression

In modules, you can edit the settings to add specific pre-requisites or other requirements. We are requesting to add a time element as a requirement. For example, FAA has a 'seat time' requirement. This is measured in a face to face class with time spent in class. In an online class, we could measure this by time spent in a module. Therefore, is it possible to add a time requirement where professors could choose the amount of time needing to be spent in a module before progressing to the next module?

If yes, could the time spent in modules actually be broken out by time spent on individual pages? For example, in Page Views we can see the date and time a student landed on a page, can we see the time spent on the page.

hunter‌ -- I agree completely with you about "engagement" with butt-in-seat students -- who knows where their minds are. I certainly know I've been guilty of being somewhere physically but in a completely different universe mentally. And,  @kmeeusen ‌ -- I totally see your point about those students who are able to complete earlier than the required time. It seems (And I know I'm not a programmer by trade) that it could be a simple if-then statement -- if "submitted" then allow students to move on and override time requirement. Of course, that presupposes that the module contains something that needs to be submitted.

And being the cynic that I am, I'd be happy to let module requirements just sit and stew to get DocViewer up to the capability that we had in Crocodoc and to be told that the Quiz tool would roll out VERY SOON!!! Seventh heaven status for those two!!

I would like a feature that requires a certain amount of time to elapse before a person can post on the discussions. I add videos to the discussions and I know students aren't watching the whole video before they are posting. I would like a feature that allows you to set how much time they have to be on that page before they can post to that discussion. This would really help students spend the time they need to in order to do the assignment correctly and get all the information that you intended them to. I hope this is something the same
