Start by creating the key assessment that will be used to lock/unlock the release conditions. In this example, the key assessment is a midterm exam. Next, create the review assignment in Blackboard. Depending on how/whether you want corrections to affect the original test grade, this could be a separate graded assignment, an extra credit assignment, or an ungraded discussion board or other activity. Once you have created the assignment, open up the release conditions options and set the desired performance range. In this example, students who score 85 points or lower on the exam will see the test corrections assignment the next time the log into Blackboard. Students who score 86 points or above will not see the corrections assignment. These students could simply not see anything new, or they could be given a different wrap-up/review activity, rather than revisiting an assessment on which they have already demonstrated an acceptable level of proficiency.

You could even create three or more different dynamic items keyed to different performance thresholds on the key assessment, for example to create different outcomes for students who score above 80%, students who score between 1%-79%, and students who do not submit the assignment and get an automatic 0. |
