Resources:
Adaptive Release
Do you want to display content other than by date?
Maybe display new content once students have passed with a certain grade?
Want to share review materials if they scored below a certain threshold?
Would you like students to pass a quiz or participate in a discussion before opening up the next lesson?
If these ideas interest you, this workshop will get you started making it happen! Adaptive Release in Blackboard allows you to personalize student access to your course materials. In this workshop, we will cover how to set up Adaptive Release criteria and provide examples of how it can be used in a Blackboard course.
This is a hands-on practice webinar workshop. Participants will be asked to navigate a practice course, participate in an adaptive release course activity, and practice using adaptive release. Please prepare and have access to assignment or discussion language, or web links / lecture materials for the workshop.
