How to Selectively Release Items in a Learning Module
 
caution
 CAUTION
   
  Selective Release Criteria should only be applied when absolutely necessary. Do not apply Date Criteria to quizzes as these have a start and end time in the settings. Use Selective Release for content or activities that only certain members of the class should access. Member or Group criteria can be used for this. Whenever possible, use Hide/Show option instead of setting Date Criteria. Selective Release can be particularly problematic for restored content so be sure you check for items listed as "Conditional" and either remove the Selective Release or reset appropriately for the new semester. See "Understanding Selective Release" for more detailed instructions on how to set Release Criteria.
