The course website was made visible to students. Before editing the content on the site, you can hide it from the students and after the editing is finished, you can reveal it to the students. In the situation where the course site is hidden from the students, the following message appears at the top of the site:

The message saying that the course is currently hidden has a red background and a big exclamation mark sign.

Hiding the course website (and also showing it) is done by clicking "Hide course" (or "Show course") in the quick action wizard.

If the blocks area on the right does not appear, click on the arrow located on the top right to open the slots area:

The arrow is located on the right in a grey semicircle

At the top, you will find the "Quick Actions Wizard" slot and in it the option of "Show course" or "Hide course" depending on the course status:

"Show course" button is the first option in the block

You can hide and/or reveal the entire website to students as follows:

  • Enable edit mode (green button in the top bar)
  • Go to the "Settings" tab 
  • In the "Course visibility" section, select "Hide" / "Show" according to the desired action.
  • Clicking "Save and display" at the bottom of the page.

In addition, you can hide some of the content on the site in several ways:

A. Hiding an entire study unit - recommended in a situation where all the contents located in that unit are not currently relevant, but will be relevant at a later date.

  • Activate edit mode and click on the three dots on the right side of the name of the unit you wish to hide.
  • From the options choose "Hide".
  • To cancel the operation, go to the same place and select "Show".

B. Hiding an activity or a single resource - recommended when there are a limited number of resources that you wish to hide.

  • Activate edit mode and click on the "edit" link on the right side of the name of the resource you wish to hide.
  • From the options, choose "Hide".
  • To cancel the operation, enter the same place and select "Show".

C. Hiding many resources or activities - recommended when you want to hide many files and resources, but not the teaching units.

  • Activate edit mode and mark V in the check boxes of all the resources you want to hide.
  • Find the "Total component management" box (on the right bar or at the bottom of the screen) and click on the "Hide" ("Availability") link in it.
  • To cancel the operation, mark the resources you want to reveal (in a similar way to marking for hiding) and in the box choose "Show".
  • Please note, in the overall component management box, it is possible to select all the resources available on the site or to select all the resources in certain teaching units.
