After completing this workshop you will be able to create release conditions for content and activities in your course. 

Release Conditions allow you to restrict who can access course materials, complete activities, or view a grade item based upon customized criteria. Release conditions are available within a number of different Brightspace tools and work essentially the same way in every tool, although you may have to access them differently.

Preview Documentation from Brightspace

Potential Uses

Some of the things you can do include:

• Require students to visit a topic in the Content tool before they can post to a Discussion board

• Restrict a Discussion board so that only members of an honors section can access it

• Require students to submit an Assignment before they can take a Quiz

• Require that students receive a certain score on an Assignment rubric before they can progress and view a topic in the Content area

• Restrict an Announcement so that only students who failed a pretest (Quiz) can view it

• Require only some of your students to take a quiz, for example, students who didn’t attend a live sessions and not those who did.

The world is changing fast and, today more than ever, traditional modes of assessment fail to capture the learning that happens everywhere and at every age. Digital badges are a powerful new tool for identifying and validating your range of skills, knowledge, accomplishments, and competencies.

The University of Maine System has partnered with Badgr, a digital badging platform that will help you prove that you have the skills necessary to be successful in your field.

This workshop will cover the basics of digital badges, and an overview of Badgr.
