Mastery Paths allow instructors to customize the student experience, including differentiated instruction based on assignment completion/scoring and selecting one or more of a set of assignments. Instructors can opt to direct students to specific content, a secondary assignment, or additional activity based on how the student performs on specific assignments.
For more information about Mastery Paths, please see https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-8492
Note that this feature is still in beta, and there are a number of known issues that Canvas is working to resolve. See the bottom of the documentation page for more information.
