Here's a summary of the video based on the provided sources in five points:
Tracking Course Progress: It is beneficial to mark lessons as "Complete" once you understand or have watched them. This helps in tracking which lessons have been viewed and makes course navigation more efficient.
New Lessons in Modules: Occasionally, new lessons are added to existing modules. If you haven’t marked lessons as complete, it might be difficult to recognize newly added content.
Completion Button Benefits: Marking lessons as complete transitions them from an open circle to a check mark in your course journey. This visual distinction helps in quickly identifying what remains unfinished.
Handling Homework and Incompleteness: Even if you haven't completed the homework, it’s advised to mark lessons complete if you understand the content. Homework details can be tracked separately, perhaps on a to-do list.
Visual Indicators of Progress: The course homepage indicates your progress—completed lessons have a check mark whereas incomplete ones show a play button, aiding in visually understanding your course status.

Such a refreshing and actionable way to approach learning. I have so many pages of notes from so many courses that going back to try to find some idea that resonated in the moment is WAY too time consuming if I can even pull it off! I love the idea of adding whatever tip/idea immediately to a hat manual so it is categorized and can actually be used! Thanks!!!
This was really helpful. It seems like common sense, but I have list track of where I was in other online courses because I wanted to complete all the exercises before checking the box. You are the first person who has ever made a point of highlighting the helpfulness of checking the box immediately.
@Toni Guthrie thank you for saying that! As a educator, I always aim to find a way to make the coursework more engaging for students, and the simple act of clicking 'complete' after looking at a lesson, even without doing the homework yet, I think is truly helpful for continued engagement.
@George Kao I received the welcome emails you sent, shortly after I posted the question about it here (I should have waited a bit longer before asking!). Thanks! I'm not sure if this is where I originally posted that question, because I deleted it after receiving the email. But this is where the link leads me, to let you know. Thanks again... I'm still getting used to how this all works.

What a lovely voice this person has! So easy to listen to!

Thank you@Helen Giles Very helpful.
The info regarding the fact that you sometimes add new lessons into existing modules was good to know in determining to mark something as "complete".
I like how the little ticks come up and feel like a track
This was helpful and will prevent some tech frustration.
Nice detailed explanation. ;)
I just want to say I'm really enjoying Simplero!
Thanks for the orientation! Very helpful!
