-Bridge Tasks (BTs) are open-ended, performance-based assessments.  BTs are based on a mastery-model of assessment and evaluated on a pass-fail basis.  You may use BTs in a variety of ways, from supporting the scoring of a final project, to individual lab assignments. See Introduction to Bridge Task {\ref{BridgeTask_Intro}) for a more in-depth explanation Bridge Tasks. The main features of a bridge task (\ref{BridgeTask_Features})section gives the differences between BTs and other assignments

 There are two ways of creating the bridge task. The first method is to directly edit the XML file being used (See Bridge Task XML Editing \ref{BridgeTask_XML}). The second method is to use the LON-CAPA online edit mode (See Bridge Task Mode Editing).
 
-Once the bridge task is created and published, the course coordinator must insert the resource in the course's document list (See Setting Up Bridge Task \ref{BridgeTask_SetupResource}). The course coordinator may also create slots to limit the place/time the bridge task may be opened (See Using Slots in Bridge Task \ref{BridgeTask_Slot}). This resource may also be placed inside conditionals resources so that it is accessible only after a particular condition has been met.  
+Once the bridge task is created and published, the course coordinator must insert the resource in the course's document list (See Setting Up Bridge Task \ref{BridgeTask_SetupResource}). The course coordinator may also create slots to allow for multiple place/time the bridge task may be opened or to allow for multiple separate attempts at the bridgetask (See Using Slots in Bridge Task \ref{BridgeTask_Slot}). As with any resource, the map it is in may use conditionals to control access to the resources based on other information in the course. (For example, the section of a user, the passing of a prior bridgetask, etc.)
