Release conditions can be applied to various content items and activities within Brightspace. When a release condition is applied to an item, students are unable to see the item until they meet the criteria established in the condition. An example of this might be an assignment with a release condition requiring that a student must first view a specific content item. Once a student has viewed that content item, the assignment will become visible to them. To set up a release condition for an assignment:
- From the course navigation bar, select Course Activities and select Assignments from the drop-down.
- Select the drop-down arrow to the right of the assignment you would like to apply a release condition to and select Edit Assignment from the drop-down menu.
- Select the Availability Dates & Conditions section near the top-right of the screen.
- Select the Add Release Condition dropdown. Select Create New if you are creating a new release condition. Select Add Existing if you are applying a release condition that you have already created and/or are using elsewhere in the course. Below, we will be creating a new Release Condition.
- Scroll through the list of condition types and select the type you would like to set for the assignment.
- Depending on the Condition Type, you may be additional Condition Details that need to be completed. In the example below, the student must score an 80% or higher on the M1Q1 Quiz in order for the assignment to become available to them.
- When all condition details are entered, select the Create button.
