Echo allows teachers to restrict the visibility of item based on certain conditions:

  • Date -Students will not be able to see the item until the date arrives
  • Mastery - Students will not be able to see the item until A) they have successfully completed another activity, or B) they have successfully mastered an objective/standard
  • Password - Students will not be able to open an item unless they use a password

Restricting visibility can help ensure that students are ready for the next step before moving on. For example, a project might require certain surface knowledge to be acquired before they can access a folder with activities that deepen their understanding. Or, perhaps you want the students to meet with you to review a project benchmark before moving on, at which time you would provide the students with a password.

 

 

To enable the advanced visibility options, click on the Settings tab in the Activity Editor.
