Q: What is Adaptive Release?

Adaptive Release provides instructors with controls to release content to users based on a set of rules.

The following options are available:

• Adaptive Release – Create one basic rule for an item.
• Adaptive Release: Advanced – Create advanced rules for an item. Multiple rules may be created.

An Adaptive Release rule consists of a set of criteria that defines the visibility of a content item to users. Criteria are the parts that make up the rule. For example, date and membership are two types of different criteria. Each content item may have multiple rules, and each rule may consist of multiple criteria. To view an item, a user must meet all of the requirements of the rule. This means that if a rule has multiple criteria, the user must meet all criteria before the item is available.

To create an Adaptive Release rule, click on Manage next to an item in a Content Area:

Click on Adaptive Release to create a basic rule for the item or click on Adaptive Release: Advanced to create an advanced rule or rules for the item:

Use Adaptive Release to create a rule to narrow the availability of an item to users. Set Date, Membership, Gradebook, or Review Status criteria.

Adaptive Release: Advanced

Advanced Adaptive Release allows users to create multiple rules per item. If a user wants to create different criteria for different users on the same item, the user will need to create more than one rule. For example, if different rules apply for different Groups in a course Advanced Adaptive Release is used.
