What is it?
Adaptive release is a very useful tool that allows you to control who can access a content area, quiz or assignment drop box.
What can it do for me?
It is particularly useful when you need to receive late submissions from students who have been given special consideration. Similarly if you need to create an alternative assessment for some students, but not others, you can use the adaptive release function to provide access to just the specific students who have been approved.
What’s the benefit and for whom?
By using access control you avoid creating new assignment dropboxes or having to allow late submission to the whole class. Using adaptive release helps you to keep things simpler, clearer and less messy.
Any ideas for how I could use it in teaching?
Adaptive release is an access control tool. Therefore it is useful in any scenario where you want to restrict access to a piece of content, test or assignment dropbox.
