Canvas Mastery Paths

Canvas Mastery Paths is a feature that allows instructors to differentiate and personalize learning for students based on their performance on an Assignment or a Quiz. Mastery Paths allows targeted learning activities to be assigned to different learners, thereby offering a low-stakes method for instructors to provide feedback to students without penalizing them with a bad grade.

How it Works

Students take the pre-assessment and will be automatically presented with the path that the instructor has selected according to the pre-assessment score. However, each path will include the option to skip activities, and/or select activities from different paths.
Instructor uses the data from the pre-assessment to differentiate instruction by creating paths that will provide and facilitate specific instruction to learners based on their learning needs, skills and knowledge.
At the end of the pathway, students take a quiz to check for mastery.
