How do I publish or unpublish a page as an instructor?
<p>Draft State allows content in Pages to exist in an unpublished (draft) state. Unpublished content is invisible to students.</p> <p><strong>Note: </strong>If you use Modules in your course and add a Page to a Module, please be aware that the state of the Module overrides the state of all module items. You may want to consider leaving Pages unpublished until you are ready to publish the entire Module. For more information please see the <a href="../../4152/l/180497?data-resolve-url=true&data-manual-id=4152" data-object-class="article" data-object-uuid="b1f60e28-2772-496b-8c0c-054a75e6405e" data-object-manual-uuid="2E64DA50-E3D9-012F-D7C3-12313804AAC3" data-resolve-url="true" target="_blank">Modules Draft State lesson</a>.</p>Manual Canvas Instructor Guide -

How do I add conditional content to a Mastery Path source item?
<p>MasteryPath assignments release conditional content to students based on a set of rules in three scoring ranges. After the initial assignment has been graded by the instructor, the student’s score designates which conditional items(s) will be 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. Please note that resubmitted assignments may affect conditional paths, as updated grades may change the associated assignments released to the student.</p> <p>Any graded assignments, graded discussions, and quizzes in a module can be the source for a MasteryPaths item. However, ungraded assignments, ungraded discussions, practice quizzes, and surveys (both graded and ungraded) cannot be used in MasteryPaths.</p> <p>MasteryPaths items should be created from assignment assigned to everyone, such as a pre-test or an introductory assignment. </p> <p>Once you have added conditional content to a MasteryPath assignment, you must <a href="../../4152/l/668309?data-resolve-url=true&data-manual-id=4152" data-object-class="article" data-object-uuid="d0ab2408-f33d-46f5-934f-0179086a36ed" data-object-manual-uuid="2E64DA50-E3D9-012F-D7C3-12313804AAC3" data-resolve-url="true" target="">differentiate each conditional assignment for MasteryPaths</a>.</p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong> </p> <ul><li>Because content pages do not require grading, content pages cannot be the source of a MasteryPath and can only be added to an assignment as conditional content. However, a <a href="../../4152/l/668278?data-resolve-url=true&data-manual-id=4152" data-object-class="article" data-object-uuid="762c183f-e1c4-42b9-b131-c6881535234b" data-object-manual-uuid="2E64DA50-E3D9-012F-D7C3-12313804AAC3" data-resolve-url="true" target="">page must be allowed for MasteryPaths</a> before it can be added to a conditional path.</li> <li>If conditional items are added to a path and later changed (such as separating conditional items in the same range or adding another item), the change will not apply to any students who have already been graded based on the original conditional path. Conditional items should be final when course content is published.</li> <li>Added items can include due dates, but due dates are controlled by each individual item, not by the conditional path. Instructors may want to confirm any assigned due dates for conditional items are aligned with the rest of the coursework appropriately in the module page structure.</li> <li>Conditional content items can be set up with their own conditional items.</li> <li>All module items should be published before the course is available to students. If an unpublished item is added as a conditional content item, the student will not be able to view the content until the item is published. Any publishing delays may have unintended consequences for the student's conditional path. </li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>Note:</strong> MasteryPaths is currently a course opt-in feature.
