Mastery Paths Question

[rangulo]

Hello everyone!

I have noticed that mastery paths is a bit buggy. When I was using the test student to assist a professor the test student was not able to continue on the conditional path that we had set. For example, if assignment A was graded it would give the student two options B or C. I could only access assignment B since it was next in sequential order never C no matter what I did. My question is, when will the test student be allowed to mimic a real student role effectively? If it does already, I did not notice since the assignment C was not directly next to A it would not let me progress to C, only B.

Thanks guys!

Hi  @rangulo ‌ -

I tried reproducing this as I understood it, and it seems to be working okay, but it may help if you shared a screen capture or two of how you set up things.  For example, here is my Mastery Path as created for Assignment A:

You  said that Assignment A just had to be graded, so I'm assuming you were not concerned about point values for this first part--they just have to complete it.

After a student is graded for Assignment A, here is what they are seeing:

After clicking the "Choose Assignment Group," they will see this:

Where they can then SELECT Assignment C.

Now, indeed there is currently a bug where if the student clicks on Assignment C after selecting it, they will see a "Page Not Found" error.  That will resolve itself after a few minutes or a logon/logoff, as a discussion on this page indicates:  Canvas Release: MasteryPaths .  But that is still a bug.  I saw it myself just now.  

As a wild guess, are you remembering to rid of the Everyone in the Assign To: areas of both Assignment B and Assignment C and replacing it with Mastery Paths?  That is very, very easy to forget to do with all of the other steps required in setting up a Mastery Path!

Oh, and to answer your concern about Student View--YES, my general impression is that the Student View works just fine with using Mastery Paths.  Once you give a grade to the Test Student for Assignment A, the Test Student will see things just fine.

Hope this helps a bit.
