Using Mastery Paths to set up conditional assignments
Mastery Paths allows instructors to customize learning experiences for students based on scores achieved on a previous assignment. By default, assignments in Canvas are assigned to “Everyone,” meaning that all students are able to view and access the item on the Modules page. With Mastery Paths, assignments are differentiated to individual students automatically, and no additional work is required aside from grading student assignments as usual. After the initial assignment has been graded (either manually or automatically), the student’s score designates which conditional item(s) they are assigned as a learning path. For instance, a student who scores above 90% on an assignment could be assigned more advanced work, while a student who scores below 60% could view assignments designed for content clarification and improvement.
For example, Mastery Paths can assign one set of items to students who score at or above 70% and another set to students who score below 70%. If Student A scores an 70% or higher, they can access Page 1, Page 2, Assignment 1, and Assignment 2. You can require Student A to read both pages and complete at least one assignment. If Student B scores less than 70%, they can access Page 1, Page 3, Page 4, and Assignment 1. You can require Student B to read all three pages and complete the assignment in order to achieve mastery of the subject.
