Hi @zvsmedia -

I think Mastery Paths would be perfect for this approach. Paired with modules, you'll create an awesome learning experience for your students! 🎉

How do I use Mastery Paths in course modules? 

How do I add conditional content to a Mastery Path source item? 

How do I use modules to view the progress of students in a course? 

 

Like @TrishaMeyer1 mentioned, you would need to create your modules and then use a quiz with minimal points to determine the "path" for the next phases of the class. When I taught, I used this with my upper-level art students, and it provided them with the opportunity to customize their learning experience. (They really enjoyed it, and they never worried if the content on their To Do list was theirs or not.) When I set up the Mastery Path quizzes, I created an Assignment Group worth 0% of the overall course grade...just in case someone was worried if a choice would influence their course grade.

From the teacher's perspective, the Gradebook will feel heavy. While students will ONLY see the content that is assigned to them, you'll see everything. The only thing that you'll need to double-check once the paths have been chosen are the due dates. When creating a Mastery Path, an item can be assigned to Mastery Paths. However, even after assigned, the original due dates don't copy to the people who need to follow the path. This has been a known request since 2017 -- [MasteryPaths] Mastery Paths: Automatically Set Conditional Item Due Dates. And while it's not ideal, once you know about the required step, it's simple to add to your workflow. (And it's definitely worthwhile!) 

@kona has a wonderful blog that uses Mastery Paths in this way also -- Hacking Mastery Paths 

I hope this helps! Feel free to reply with follow-up questions. I'd be happy to collaborate.
