The Completion Progress block is a time-management tool for students.
It visually shows what activities/resources a student is supposed to interact with in a course.
It is colour-coded so students can quickly see what they have and have not completed/viewed.
The block shows activities with activity completion settings.

To Install
1. Copy the completion_progress directory to the blocks/ directory of your Moodle instance
