Moodle: Hide and unhide courses and course sections

Hide courses or sections, activities and resources within courses to prevent Registered students, Auditors and guests from seeing them. 

Before you start, you need:

  • an Instructor of record, Other editing teacher role or Non-teaching editor role in a Bryn Mawr Moodle course

Hide/show entire course

Hiding a course makes it invisible to students and unenrolled viewers. Course participants with teaching or editing roles can still see and enter the course, but the course title will appear grayed out in category listings.

Hide/show course elements

Manually

Manually hide course sections, activities or resources that you don't wish students and guests to see. (Teaching and editing roles see them marked Hidden from students.)

Automatically, at a specified time

Add date restrictions to hide or reveal a course section, activity or resource to students and guests at a future date and time. (Teaching and editing roles see Restricted tag that summarizes the restriction parameters. (Students and guests do not see this tag when the item is visible to them.)
