Currently, there are two-ish options for module requirements: Complete one of the following or complete all of the following. There's also the ability to require students to work in sequence. I'm interested in a third option: Complete X of the following. Let me post five assignments and tell students to complete three or four of them. I've seen similar discussions posted (see below). I'm pretty adept at making quizzes/mastery paths work for me for either/or choice (although it's a hassle), but for truly remote/individualized learning, I'd like students to see all of the options. Also no matter how many times I tell a student their placement quiz won't affect their grade, they still freak out, so it's not a great workaround. Right now I'm not allowed to grade, so I'm incentivizing with badges (Badgr), for which I need to set requirements, but it's either one or all of the week's assignments, with little flexibility.
