Important Info About Adaptive Release

You can set adaptive release on almost any item in Blackboard; this is an availability criteria you can set by date, member, group or grade.  To set adaptive release on an item, follow these steps:

     1. Make sure edit mode is ON.

     2. Click the drop-down arrow next to an item in a content area, and click Adaptive Release.

     3. On the Adaptive Release page, there are three sections:

a.       Date – choose a date/time when the item appears (Display After) and disappears (Display Until)

b.      Membership – choose which individuals or groups can see this item

c.       Grade – decide what grade must be achieved on a test or assignment in order for this item to be visible

Typically you will only change one or two sections, such as date and membership.

     4. When you have chosen the adaptive release criteria for that item, click Submit.

     5. When you are returned to the content area, you will see the item has a notation: Enabled: Adaptive Release.

Please note that any settings that are active in adaptive release will supersede any other setting within the item, and it can actually hide content from students.
