Understanding Adaptive Release Vs. Test Availability Exceptions

Do you ever need to make an online test or exam available to a student for an extended amount of time, or on a different date/time than the rest of your students? If so, make sure that you use a Test Availability Exception, instead of Blackboard's Adaptive Release feature, which can be confusing and somewhat problematic for faculty and students. For that reason, before using Adaptive Release, we recommend that you schedule a virtual appointment with your designated Instructional Designer to ensure that it is the best option to suit your specific instructional needs.
