-
No REST API support available to automatically configure visibility release conditions, so instructors/course designers unfortunately need to configure this manually.
- Available through LTI 1.3/Advantage-Proctoring for BioSig-ID™ and BioSight-ID™.
- Can be emulated by putting a BioSig-ID™ tool-instance as the very first item in the course and adding it as the visibility release condition to the rest of the course. Using content folders makes this much easier by moving all the existing course content into a folder and then having a single visibility release condition configured on the folder. Combining the enrollment/practice link for this also works in which case they should be extracted out of the folder that is normally created via the Content Market.
- Blackboard Original View Admin App is handled via LTI. The Ultra View access relies on LTI 1.3/Advantage and is handled via the Content Market or by launching existing BioSig-ID instances as an admin or instructor.
