Expand support for student-driven learning in Canvas

Status:

Theme Overview

Instructors want additional controls to encourage student-led, self-paced learning in their courses.

What value could this provide to users?

Rubrics are more accessible for students and students can act as their own peer reviewer
Instructors have more control over how a student progresses through a course (e.g. the To Do List can be disabled to encourage students to follow the appropriate path)
Instructors are able to create student pathways via module requirements based on student choice and other differentiating factors
Students have additional tools that encourage progression and course completion (e.g. a checklist for staying organized)
