LEARN Release Conditions
Tagged in: LEARN, How to Videos
Description:
Release Conditions are used to define conditions that need to be satisfied in order to grant students access to a piece of content. “Release” means “visible or accessible to students.” The most commonly used release conditions are date and time. Learn also allows instructors to define other types of conditions for release of material to students. It can be used to define the order in which a student accesses course materials. These defined orders are sometimes referred to as “learning paths.”
