You can control how and when students can access modules in your course using requirements, prerequisites, the assign to function, and availability dates.
To control when students are able to view and access certain content, organize your content using Modules. Then, you can do the following:
- Once content has been added to a module, you can edit the Module to select what content is required for the completion of the module. See How do I add requirements to a Module? for step-by-step instructions.
- When more than one module exists, the next modules allow you to add prerequisites to select which modules must be completed prior to being allowed access. See How do I set up prerequisite Modules? for step-by-step instructions.
- Once content has been added to a module, you can assign a module to specific sections or students. See How do I assign a module? for step-by-step instructions.
- Once content has been added to a module, you can lock it until a certain date has passed. See How do I lock a module? for step-by-step instructions.
Another option to manage how students access course content is to use Mastery Paths. This is a more elaborate approach that can create a custom learning experience for each student.
