Adaptive release using Release Conditions

Within Blackboard Ultra you can set release conditions of the content items within your course to make them visible to or hidden from students.

The content can be released using different conditions: Date/Time or Performance.

You can set release conditions for individual students, groups or the whole cohort.

Instructions

Setting up Release conditions

1. You can either go to the … (three dots) to the right of the content and choose edit, or when you add new content choose the drop down arrow beside ‘visible to students’.

Open

2. Choose ‘Release conditions’.

3. The following menu will appear. This is where you can choose whether it is for all users in the module or certain groups.

Open

If you want to set release conditions for a particular student or group, chose Specific members or groups. You can search for a student name under Individual members or by group under Groups

4. Choose whether you want Date/time or Performance based conditions. You do have the option to choose both. (see below for more on each one)
