As you can see in the picture above, there are a lot of condition types you can use. You can use multiple conditions on one item, but you have to create them separately. For example; student can only visit assignment 2 after:

1. Finishing assignment 1  (Assignments > submission to folder)
2. Looking at the powerpoint of week 2 (Content > visited content topic)

In the example below you can see how you can create a New Release Condition.

For example; 

• Students need to hand in assignments 1 and 2 before they can see the final exam.
• Students should post five messages on the discussion board before they can see the corresponding assignment.

When you set up or edit an assignment, you can see the Availability Dates & Conditions tab where you can set up or edit release conditions. You can attach existing release conditions, or create and attach new release conditions.

For example;

• Students have to finish everything in the first module before they can access the second module.
• Students must take the week 2 quiz before they can watch the video for week 3.

There are two ways to add a release condition to a content item. 

First of all you can add a release condition to content created through Create New and Add Existing through the tab Availability Dates & Conditions, just as with assignments. You will find this tab on the right side of the screen while editing the piece of content.

You can also add a release condition by clicking View Release Conditions under the three dots next to the Create New option. You can then create new release conditions, or browse existing release conditions.

For example;

• Students have to make three posts in any topic in order to reply to other students' posts.
• Students need to have watched the video in module 2 to gain posting rights for the corresponding topic in the discussion forum.

When you set up or edit a forum or discussion, you can see the Restrictions tab where you can set up or edit release conditions. You can attach existing release conditions, or create and attach new release conditions.

You can also set group restrictions in the option below, without having to create and attach a group restriction.

For example; 

• Students must have completed all quizzes in the course in order to receive a grade.
• Students are required to place seven posts in the discussion board before receiving their grade.

When you set up or edit a grade item or grade category, you can see the Restrictions tab where you can set up or edit release conditions. You can attach existing release conditions, or create and attach new release conditions.

For example;

• Students must have posted at least three messages in the discussion board before being allowed to take a quiz.

When you set up or edit a quiz, you can see the Restrictions tab where you can set up or edit release conditions. You can attach existing release conditions, or create and attach new release conditions.

In case you are thinking of using (a lot of) release conditions, it is important to keep in mind the following matters:

• Set up release conditions before students have access to your course; this gives you time to check whether all release conditions function as they should by carefully go through them again.
• Avoid unnecessary release conditions; if you use too many release conditions, Brightspace will have more trouble loading your pages.
• Avoid circular release conditions which students can not meet. For example, if you set up that students first need to look at document A before they are able to post messages in the discussion, and you also set up that students first need to post a message in the discussion before they can see document A, it becomes impossible for students to meet the conditions of the course. Therefore, carefully keep in mind which release condition you connect to which part of a course.
• Once release conditions have been made, they will be saved in the course. This is useful if you want to reuse complex release conditions.
