This tutorial shows you how to release an assessment, assignment, or
discussion to just a few students so that they can make up or retake an exam. You can also use this feature to deliver the same
assessment to different people at different times. See the
Advanced Example for tips on this. This is two step process that
requires changes to be made in two locations:
- Release the Assessment, Assignment, etc. to Select
Students
through the Selective Release feature
- Second, set the Available Date Range
in Assessment/Assignment properties

Does your student need to resubmit a submission? |
If your student has already started the process
of submitting an assignment or assessment and you wish for them to resubmit, you must
ALSO reset your student's initial submission
to clear it out and allow them to submit again. Reset at the same time you
are selectively
releasing the activity.

Step 1: Release to Select Students
|
TOP |
- Under the Build Tab, go to the tool that
has the item that you wish to edit the release criteria for.
(Assessments, Assignments,
Discussions, etc.)
- Click on the
ActionLinks
icon next to the item that you want to release, select
Set Release Criteria.
- Click on Add Member Criteria or Add Group
Criteria.
Note: If
you are setting up a selective release for a
Disability Quiz
Accommodation, we recommend that you setup a
Custom Group specifically for DSS Students and then use
the
DSS Student Custom Group as your Group Criteria.

Group Manager Tool.
.
- Check the boxes next to the students or
groups you wish to release the item to
- Click Save
- Review the Criteria, and press Save
Review Settings
Notice there will be a
Conditional tag next to the item that has selective
release settings on it. This means that only the individuals
that meet the appropriate criteria (User ID in this example)
will be able to access any part of the activity including the
graded results.
REMINDER:
You MUST remove the conditional selective release
settings immediately after the conditional release is no
longer needed. This ensures all students will be able to
gain access to their graded results. This also allows
students in following semesters to complete the activity.

The date range associated with an assignment or assessment
overrides selective release settings, so it's important to open
the assessment/assignment for the time that your selectively
released student(s) will need it.
- Under the Build Tab, go to the tool that
has the item that you wish to edit the release criteria for.
(Assessments,
Assignments, Discussions,
etc.)
- Click on the
ActionLinks
icon next to the item that you want to edit, select Edit
Properties
- Adjust the Available Dates
- Press Save
- ATTENTION: The Date
Range setup inside the Tool's Properties
overrides the dates set within the Selective Release
settings.

What if you need to release the same exam or quiz to several
different students at several different times? Here's how:
- First, under the Build Tab, click on
Assessments.
- Click on the
ActionLinks
icon next to the quiz you want to setup.
- Select Edit Properties.
- Under Dates Available, set the
Start Time to the first possible delivery time.
- Set the End Time to Unlimited.
NOTE: The Due Date set with
the Assessment or Assignment properties over rides the
Selective Release Date ranges that you may set.

- Second, under the Build Tab, click on
Assessments.
- Click on the
ActionLinks
icon next to the quiz you want to setup.
- Select Set Release Criteria:
- First, select Add Date Criteria to
set up the date range for the majority of the class.
- Then add a Add Date Criteria for
the specific student(s) that need a different time
- Set the Date pull down to Or.
- Press the Add Member Criteria
button to select the correct student.
- Set the Member pull down to And.
- Repeat the steps 2-5 of adding a new Date range with
Member for each unique situation.
- So the example below says:
Everyone can take the exam on December 14th, or on December
15th only Joe Vandal can take it, or on December 13th only
Brenda Smith can take it.
