[Placeholder] Completion API

[jmakowski1123]

the current completion funcionality imposes the way of determining if a learner has completed a unit : they need to have completed every component in the unit, and each component is completed with a fixed logic (for example, having the content for 5 seconds on the screen for html components). The ability for course creators to configure the completion criteria per each component and unit would improve the real value of this information for both learners and instructors.

Here is the Spanish use case.

As instructors from a course they want to add a condition to grading that will require students to have completed "as per completionAPI" a configurable percentage of the course.

From the conversation on Discussion grading I see some similarities that could be addressed by adding a filter to the grading process. If that feature ends up using the xblock approach this means it would also be usable here.

@xitij2000's proposal on the Graded Discussions ticket of using filters to extend the grading capabilities is pretty interesting. So much, we made a little discovery about it here. Basically, we propose adding a filter for checking additional conditions besides the course grade to determine whether the student passed the course. By checking this, we could add conditions like: number of posts published -- by using discussions utilities-- or % of course visited -- by using the completion API --.

Feel free to comment on the document or here about this POC.
