Mastery paths in Canvas allow for multiple learning paths through the use of conditionally released content. You can allow for different instruction based on how a student performs on an assignment. This opens up possibilities in pedagogy where you can individualize the learning for students according to their performance and guide them to maximize their scores.
Mastery Paths can also be used to gate assignments – used in this way students can repeat a quiz until they perfect it, and only then are they allowed to progress to the next assignment.
