Release conditions
I would like to make it so my students can work ahead in the course. I would like to create a release condition that if they complete all of the tasks for a lesson that the next lesson will open up.

Certificate of Completion
We are issuing a certificate of completion after the course is completed. The name is filling in correctly with the text string. However we are having issues with the Date of Completion. I am using the correct text string but it is not populating. Any insight or is it only one text field available?

BUG? - View Reports shows all students for Quicklinks, not based on Release Conditions
If I use the View Reports function in Content, you can see per item in Content which students can view it and this works in combination with Release Conditions.

Set a release condition without completely hiding the assignment?
I keep having an issue where students don't realize they have an assignment to do because they haven't met the release condition and D2L has it completely hidden until the condition is met.

Limiting Dual Submission When Using Release Conditions for Midterm/Final Pairing

Enforcing spaced practice with timed release conditions
I'd like to create release conditions that make it impossible to consume an entire 15 week course in a matter of a few days. Some students will postpone access to content and then consume an entire course in the final 72 hours of the semester. On the one hand, students want an asynchronous course with maximum flexibility…
