Conditional release use case and student completion

Example use case for conditional release

You can use conditional release for differentiation in student learning to tailor instruction to meet the needs of all students.

In this scenario, you can use a pre-assessment to determine student levels. 

1. Create three assignments: introduction, practice, and extension. 

2. Apply release conditions to each assignment so that, based on their pre-assessment scores, students will receive the assignment that matches their level: 

   • Students who obtain low scores on the pre-assessment will receive the introduction assignment. 

   • Students who obtain medium scores will receive the practice assignment. 

   • Students who achieve high scores will receive the extension assignment. 

Student completion and release conditions

It’s important to understand the difference between student completion and conditional release.

• Student completion refers to the completion rules applied to a folder. Student completion provides assignments to all students but may or may not be actionable depending on the sequential order activation status. The next assignment becomes actionable upon completion of the previous one. Use this when every student will complete all materials within the student completion set. 

• Release conditions refer to the release conditions applied to a material or folder. The material or folder is also known as the target of the release condition rule. Conditional release individually displays assignments based on specific actions taken by the student, such as the scores achieved on a pre-assessment. Use this option when different material needs to be assigned to students.
