As part of the Site Administrator program you are given access to a particular dashboard that shows your courses in a Featured Links block. When you complete each course the Featured Link block image changes, see my image attached. 

Is this a current Totara feature or something additional that the Totara site is currently running?

Hi Tom

I think this might just be a Featured Link block that is a gallery tile with images that are set to change at a set  interval rather than being connected to course completion.

Hi Tom,

When these were first made we had two versions of each tile. The first was the non completed tile with a restriction set to only show for an audience who had not completed the course. The second was the completed tile with a restriction which meant it was only visible to an audience of users who have completed the course.

In our more recent programs we now use a course tile with 'Show progress' enabled. This achieves a similar result but is much easier to set up.

Very clever, thank you for your feedback. I do enjoy these clever little ways of enhancing the experience for the learner in a much more visual way.

For some clients the progress bar just is not the look they are after.
