Clarity for Mastery Path Choices in Module
This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas |
Mastery Paths are such a great resource within Modules! Usually, I use a quiz (in an assignment category worth 0% of the total course grade) to have students "select a path" for their activities. I tried the choices option, built right into Mastery Paths, and I realized there is a very different experience for students using the mobile app.
When students are given a choice in Mastery Paths, students using Canvas Student are unable to see the details of each option. It would be helpful if students could preview the content they're selecting!
When accessing through a browser, students see the full details of the assignment(s) written in the RCE.
I hope that this can be looked at or discussed, as we never know how or where students are accessing their learning! When teachers are relying on the automatic-differentiation to customize their students' experiences, this is important to know about. This is especially true since there's not an easy in-context opportunity to write a note that would nudge students towards a browser for this particular activity.
