ANSWER:

Release Criteria: Group Criteria

If learning groups have been created in the course and you want to release an item to certain groups only, you can add group criteria to the item. Example: If two learning groups have been created and separate quizzes have been created for each group, you can add group criteria to the quizzes so that each quiz will be released only to the group that you specify.

You can also add group criteria to an item if you do want to release it to certain groups. Example: If five learning groups have been created and you want to release a Media Library collection to four of the five learning groups, instead of selecting the four groups to which you want to release the collection, you can select the one group to which you do not want to release the collection.

IMPORTANT: If you add group criteria to an item, ensure the item is set to show. If the item is hidden, when the release criteria is satisfied, the item will not be visible. For more information, see Showing or Hiding Items Using the Selective Release Tool.

• To specify the groups to whom you do not want to release the item:

    • To select one or more groups, next to each groups to which you do not want to release the item, select the check box.
       
    • To select all groups, in the table heading row, select the check box.

Step 6: Click Save to add the group criterion.
