Conditional Release: NOT Condition

If you're familiar with release conditions, you know that you can set special conditions for when students complete quizzes, dropbox assignments, or surveys. 

BOLT now has the opposite release condition available: the NOT condition.

The new NOT condition will allow you to release items in BOLT if students have NOT completed quizzes, dropbox assignments, surveys, and a variety of other procedures in BOLT.

Please refer to the Content Help module in the BOLT Help Course for information on release conditions and how to set them.


Quizzes Special Access Display Fixed

Some of you may have noticed a display issue with special access in quizzes where the time displayed was four to five hours ahead of the time you had set for students' special access. This was a display only issue.

The issue has been fixed and you should now see the appropriate time after setting special access for students in quizzes.
