Release Condition Criteria

The membership field allows instructors to limit access to an item or assignment to a particular student or group of students. By default, content is visible to all students. This is the equivalent of the Membership criteria in HuskyCT Original Course View.

After checking Specific members or groups, and instructor can specify the members or groups who should have access to the item.

You must either set a Show on and/or Hide after date for this setting to take effect.

The Date/Time criteria allows instructors to restrict access to an item or assignment to a particular time frame. Setting a Show on and/or Hide after date/time will make the content available after the Show on date and it will remain available until the Hide after date.

 

The Performance criteria allows instructors to set access to a course item/assessment based on performance on a specified course assessment.

  • First select a gradable item (i.e., a test, assignment, grade column etc.)

  • Then, specify the grade/performance requirement that needs to be attained by a student on that gradable item in order to gain access.

Custom Range

Attempt Submitted

 

With Custom Range, instructors input the minimum and maximum points or percentage that students must achieve to gain access.

 

Attempt Submitted grants access to students after they have submitted an attempt on the Gradable item.

  • **At this time, this criteria is only applicable to Tests and Assignments. Discussion and Journal posts cannot be used to trigger an attempt.

These settings are only available if the Membership criteria is set to All Members, and either the Date/Time and/or Performance criteria are set.

The When will content appear menu allows instructor to customize what will happen before the release conditions are met.

If the Show option is selected, content will be visible, but not accessible to students.

If the Hide option is selected, the content will not appear for students until the Release Conditions are met. This is similar to how Adaptive Release functioned in Original Course View.
