Allow waiving a module prerequisite for students or groups
I am an instructor.
Currently, if you are using prerequisites, there is no way for a student to proceed beyond a point without completing the prereq. This is, of course, the point of prerequisites.
However, there are times when you might want to override the prerequisite. A couple of potential examples...
- I have a student who did not receive her text books during week 1. This means she cannot complete all the week 1 work. Week 1 is a prerequisite for week 2 module, so she is prevented from working on any week 2 work even though some of the work does not require a text. I would like to give her access to week 2, but would prefer not removing the prerequisite from the module for the whole class.
- A student gets needs-based permission to skip an assignment. However, without completing the submission, the student cannot proceed.
It would be great to be able to waive the prerequisites for a module for chosen students or groups of students. This allows the prerequisites to exist for all, but be waived on a case-by-case basis.
