Moodle: Hide and unhide courses and course sections

Moodle lets Instructors of record and Other editing teachers hide an entire course site to prevent  students, auditors and guests from seeing it. Similarly, Moodle allows course instructors to hide course sections, assignments, and materials.

Before you start, you need:

  • an Instructor of record or Other editing teacher role in a Bryn Mawr Moodle course

Hide/show entire course

Hide/show course elements

Manually

Manually hide course sections, activities or resources that you don't wish students and guests to see. (Instructors of record, Other editing teachers, Non-editing teachers will still see them, but with a Hidden from students tag attached.)

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. The item remains visible to Instructors of record, Other editing teachers, and Non-editing teachers with a Restricted tag that summarizes the restriction parameters. (Students and guests do not see this tag when the item is visible to them.)
