WHAT ARE MASTERYPATHS IN CANVAS?

MasteryPaths allow instructors to configure differentiated learning content that is automatically delivered to students based on their individual source assignment scores. Any graded assignment, graded discussion, or graded quiz may be used as the source content for a MasteryPath. After the source assignment is graded (either manually or automatically), MasteryPaths release conditional content to students based on scoring-range rules. A student's score determines their assigned learning path.

For instance, a student who scores above 90% on an assignment could be assigned more advanced work, while a student who scores below 60% could view assignments designed for content clarification and improvement.

HOW DO MASTERYPATHS SUPPORT PERSONALIZING LEARNING IN THE CLASSROOM?

Instructors are able to easily group students in dynamic and purposeful ways based on interest, need, or skill-level. Each group within the pathway can be set up to learn in strategic formats (one-on-one, small groups, etc.) whether they are focusing on the introduction on new material, guided practices, or remediation.

WHAT ARE OUR GOALS FOR THIS SECTION?

We will look at support and materials for the following:
