Create a release condition to make content visible to all users, specific users, or groups when you reach a certain date, previous content has been completed, or a certain grade has been achieved. 

  • Date – This option is useful when you want content to appear on a certain day. For instance, you might have all Unit 2 content appear on February 1st because that’s when you anticipate teaching that content in your lectures.
  • Performance – If you wanted the next module to not appear until a student received at least a B on a certain exam, then this would be a great choice.
  • By User or Group – This would be helpful when you have a certain item you only want for certain students to see. For example, you might only want a student with an excused absence to see the video that you made of your lecture, but you don’t want all students in the class to be able to view it.
