Conditional Release

Q.

What is Conditional Release? Can I enforce conditions for the availability of an activity?

A.

Conditional Release enables teachers to restrict the availability of any Activity according to certain conditions such as dates, grade obtained, or activity completion. ALL conditional restrictions have to be met in order for the activity to be made available.

Course materials that can be conditionally released: Course activities and resources and Course topics/folders/weeks.

1. Activities containing a condition will be displayed as seen below. The requirement settings will be displayed underneath the activity. *In the settings the Teacher has the option to hide the restriction and in that case the grayed out link will not be shown.
 

2. After reaching the requirement, access to the activity is permitted.

3. As the Teacher you can set up multiple conditional activities. In that case the first activity will only be displayed initially, and the second one will be displayed after completion.

4. There are many options to choose from on how the conditional release should behave:

Allow access from and until:  Access from/to dates determine when students can access this course item on the course page.

User field: You can restrict access based on any field from the users profile.

Grade Condition:   This setting determines any grade conditions which must be met in order to access this course item.  Multiple grade conditions may be set if desired. If so, this course item will only allow access when ALL grade conditions are met.

Completion Condition:  This setting determines any activity completion conditions which must be met in order to access this course item. Note that completion tracking must first be set before an activity completion condition can be set.  Multiple activity completion conditions may be set if desired. If so, access to this course item will only be permitted when ALL activity completion conditions are met.

Before this can be accessed:  You may choose how the activity appears before it can be accessed by students.
