Set up conditional release

  1. From the main navigation, select Courses, and then choose your course.

  2. From Materials, select the material or folder for which you want to set release conditions.

  3. Click the gear icon, and then choose Set Release Conditions.

  4. Choose the prerequisite materials that will prompt the targeted material to display. You can only choose from materials within the same course.
    You can set conditions based on: 

    • Score: Choose how the score should be evaluated: it can be equal to, greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, less than or equal to a specific value, or fall within a defined range. For example, you might set a condition for a pre-assessment where students who score between 51 and 85 receive a specific assignment. Keep in mind that score conditions can’t be applied to ungraded materials.

    • Viewed: The material must be viewed by the student. 

    • Submitted: The material must be submitted by the student. 

    • Comment Count: Sets a minimum number of comments the student must make in a discussion or any material where comments are allowed. 

  5. Alternatively, the Advanced Conditional Release option allows you to apply multiple conditions or groups of conditions. You can apply a single condition, one condition group, or multiple condition groups. You can set up to 10 conditions per target material or folder with any number of groups. 

    • If you apply a single condition, students must meet the condition of a single material before moving on to the next material or folder.

      • For example, you may choose to apply a condition that requires students to score above an 86 to receive the next material or subset of materials. Students must submit the material and receive a score greater than 86 before the next material or folder will be available to them.

    • If you apply a condition group, students must meet the condition of a subset of materials before they are allowed to receive the next material or folder. Within this group, only one operator can be used. This means when you choose AND or OR, that is the only option available for subsequent conditions within that same group.

      • For example, you may apply a condition group that requires students to complete all of the following to reveal the next material or folder: 

        • Students must score above a 75 in an assessment AND complete a discussion AND submit an assignment before they can receive the next material or folder. 

      • Alternatively, you may choose to apply a condition group in which students must complete one of the following to reveal the next material or folder: 

        • Students must score above a 75 in an assessment OR complete a discussion OR submit an assignment before releasing the next item or group of items.

    • If you apply multiple condition groups, students must meet the condition of a subset of materials before they are allowed to receive the next material or folder. With multiple condition groups, you can use both operators, AND or OR.

      • For example, you may apply multiple condition groups that require students to meet all of the following criteria to reveal the next material or folder: 

        • Students must score above a 75 in an assessment AND complete a discussion AND submit an assignment.

        • An alternative condition may require that students score above a 75 in an assessment OR complete a discussion OR submit an assignment before releasing the next item or group of items.
