The following article details the specific types of Release Conditions.
Please note that the course layout, steps, and screenshots shown below may differ slightly for your campus.
Release Conditions allow fine control of access to different parts of your course. This is done by using specific criteria that must be met by the learner before access is granted. This article goes through the different types of release conditions and how their conditions are met. For a full explanation of using Release Conditions, please see the article: Setting Up Release Conditions.
