hiding pages

In the Pages section of the course, it is possible to hide individual pages from students. Unfortunately, this is a manual process and cannot be set to release on a specific date and time.

In the All Pages list, pages that are hidden/unpublished are greyed out. Note the side by side comparison below of the Instructor view vs. Student View of the Pages.

To Hide/Unpublish Page:

Click Pages in the course menu.
Click [View All Pages].
From the All Pages list, find the Page to be hidden/unpublished.
Note: Newly created pages are automatically unpublished.
Click the cloud icon to the right of the page as illustrated in the graphic at the top of this page.
1. A grey cloud indicates the page is hidden/unpublished.
2. A green cloud with a check mark is published and visible to the students.

Setting Content Availability

Content release scenarios can be created by combining availability dates and settings on:

Files/Folders in the File Area of the course
Assignments and Quizzes
Discussions
Pages
Modules

A few possible scenarios are outlined in the images below.

Scenario 1: When a Module is locked, the content within it is locked until the Module becomes available.

Scenario 2: Module is unlocked, but content within it is locked because content must be viewed/completed first.

Scenario 3: Module is unlocked, but content within it that has set availability dates is locked until the specified date.

Scenario 4: A page is available, but linked content within the page that has set availability dates is locked.
