Release Condition based on Calculated Grade Item

Tara.R.951

I'm trying to set a release condition so that the next unit would open when the average score on the previous unit is a certain percentage. I don't see a way to do this? I have created a calculated grade item for the unit, and have release conditions on each assignment so they must complete each to move on. I know I would need to have the release condition be that they have completed the last grade item,as the calculated average is running and would show even if not all the work was complete, AND the calculated average is X%. I don't see a way to do the latter? Is it possible? Thanks!

Hi Tara,

Thanks for reaching out. You cannot select a Calculated Grade Item for a release condition, only individual grade items. On the unit, you could add multiple release conditions about each assignment, but not point to the calculated grade item you've made for them.

Hope this helps!

Listing calculated/formula columns in the release conditions would be very helpful. I want to only release Discussion Boards to people who have not already maxed out on Discussion Board points. I can create a calculated grade/column to calculate their DB score, but I can't use it as a release condition. For each student, I have to manually enter a dummy grade into a new grade column and use that.

The workaround I found is you create a learning objective based on the grade item (calculated grade item). You can't add the calculated grade item to release condition, but a learning objective can be met based on a calculated grade item. You then create the release condition based on the learning objective as having been met. The nice thing is the learning objective updates to met/not met based on changes to the calculated grade item.

This bothers me at so many levels that they can't make a calculated grade item a release condition, but you can do these workarounds to do the same thing. You do have to be careful about cases where there is no score for grades that are in the formula you use in the calculated grade item (I use a start date to help control for that to ensure "zeros" are entered in the gradebook before the release conditions would kick in or not when there is missing work by the student).
