Release conditions allow you to create a custom learning path through the materials in your course. When you attach a release condition to an item, students cannot see that item until they meet the associated condition. For example, you could attach a release condition to the second topic in your course’s content area that would hide that topic until students viewed the topic before it. Or you could create a condition that required students to view a content topic before gaining access to a quiz, or one that required them to post to a discussion topic before they could see a content module.
If you attach multiple conditions to an item, learners must meet all conditions before they can access the item. For example, you could require learners to visit the first three content topics in a unit before gaining access to an associated quiz.
To see and use release conditions, you must have the required permissions in the associated tools applied to your role. These permissions can only be accessed by your organization administrator. Contact your administrator if you do not have the required permissions.
