To support mastery of outcomes, Canvas created a tool called MasteryPaths which allows faculty to differentiate content in response to students’ current knowledge of a topic. Students first take a pre-assessment, and their score on the assessment opens up course content based on their score. For example, students with scores below a certain threshold may receive remedial content. Assignments and quizzes within the MasteryPaths can be aligned with outcomes to track growth and learning.

Because of the complexity of MasteryPaths, the Online Education and Educational Technology team encourages consultations with our instructional designers to map out the paths and subsequent consultations with an academic technology specialist to implement the technology steps.
