You can restrict access for an activity based on grades a user has achieved on other activities, custom grades, or a total course grade.
You can enter either a minimum value (greater than or equal to percentage), a maximum value (less than percentage), both, or neither. The activity will only appear if the learner has a value for the specified grade and if it falls within any specified number range. You can add more than one grade condition. All conditions must be met in order for the activity to appear.
- Navigate to the course and select Turn editing on.
- Click Edit next to the activity for which you want to restrict access.
- Expand the Restrict access section and click Add restriction.
- Select Grade.
- You can select whether the learner must or must not match the specified completion criteria.
- Select the relevant grading option from the Choose... dropdown menu and enter the relevant grade percentage values.
- Then click Save and display or Save and return to course to confirm your selection.
You can also click the X delete icon to cancel without saving.
The range numbers can be fractional (with up to five decimal places) if necessary.
Be careful with the maximum value; if the maximum is 7, a learner who scores exactly 7 will not see the activity. You could set it to 7.01 if you really wanted to include 7.
If creating several different activities that appear according to grade ranges, use the same number for the maximum of one activity, and the minimum of the next. For example, you might create one activity with a maximum of 7 and another with a minimum of 7. The first would appear to everyone scoring between 0 and 6.99999, and the second would appear to everyone scoring 7.00000 to 10. This guarantees that everyone with a grade will see one or other. To remove a grade condition, set the assessment name to 'none' and remove the range number values.
If you want to use a condition for learners with blank grades then you can add a grade restriction and select the activity you want to use as a restriction. Do not select a checkbox for either the greater than or less than criteria. This will require the Learner to have a grade. This means Learners with blank grades do not meet that criterion.
