Release Criteria: *Overview

Selective Release: Release Criteria

You can selectively release items to Students by setting release criteria for them. By setting release criteria for items, you can control when and to whom the items are visible.

There are four types of release criteria you can set for items:

  • Date criteria allows you to select the starting and ending dates and times when an item will be released to Students.

Example: If a learning module has been added to the Course Content tool but you do not want it to be released to Students until the third week of the course, you can add date criteria to the learning module so that it will be released to Students starting on the first day of the third week of the course.

  • Member criteria allows you to select the Students and Auditors to which an item will be released.

Example: If a makeup assignment has been added to the Course Content tool but you want it to be released only to Students who were unable to submit an earlier assignment, you can add member criteria to the makeup assignment so that it is released only to the Students you select.

  • Group criteria allows you to select the groups to which an item will be released.

Example: If two assignments (Assignment A and Assignment B) have been added to the Course Content tool and two groups of Students (Group A and Group B) have been created, you can add group criteria to Assignment A to release it only to Students in Group A and add group criteria to Assignment B to release it only to Students in Group B.

  • Grade Book criteria allows you to release an item to Students based on information in the Grade Book.

Example: If a bonus assignment has been added to the Course Content tool but you want it to be released only to Students who receive an A on the midterm, you can add Grade Book criteria to the bonus assignment so that it is released only to Students who receive a grade on the midterm that is greater than 90 out of 100.
