We make courses hidden from students by default so that you can work on organizing your content behind closed doors! If your students try to access the course while it is still hidden, they will see the error message "this course is currently unavailable to students". Please see the two methods below on how to make your course available to students. Once you've made it available don't forget to send them a message to let them know.
When a course is hidden from your students, the course title will appear in grey in the navigation links directly below the course title.
How to make your course visible to students via Course Setting
- From within your course, select Edit settings from the drop down menu.
- On the Edit course settings page, change the Course Visibility drop down from Hide to Show.
- Click Save and display, and your course is up and running!
How to make your course visible to students via short-cut button.
If you look near the top right corner of your course, you will see a button that says Show course, as you can see on the screenshot below. Clicking that button will immediately make your course visible to students.
When the course title appears in red in the navigation links directly below the course title, it confirms that the course is visible to your students.
