==How do I make my course available (or not available) to students?

  • In your course, go to: Site Editor > Manage Access > Publish Site
  • Check box beside "Publish Site" to make course available to students (or uncheck to make

unavailable)

  • We recommend that you uncheck the box beside "Can be joined by anyone..." to prevent

others from accessing your site.

==Can students see what is in the Resources area of my course site?

By default, yes! To disallow student access to the Resources area of your course:

  • In your course, go to: Resources > Permissions
  • Beside "Read Resources", uncheck box in student column (and guest column)
  • The Resources area will disappear from students' course menu.

Please note:

  • Students CANNOT see or access files that you put in the Resources area of "My Workspace".
  • Be careful when making links to resources in your course. If the resource area is not

available to students, the link will not work (will return 404 error).

==How can I move items from one resource area to another?

  • Go into a resource area and locate the item you wish to move. Beside this item, click on

"Actions" drop-down and select "Move".

  • Scroll down to see other resource areas available to you. If these are not visible, click

"Show other sites".

  • Beside the resource area you want to move the item to, click on "Actions" drop-down and

select "Paste moved items".

==How do I create a test by copying/pasting from a word or text file?

  • Go to the "Tests & Quizzes" area of your course.
  • Beside "Create Assessment", type in a title.
  • Select the option "Create using markup text"
  • Choose assessment type (optional).
  • Click "Create" button.
  • Scroll down to see box for pasting test questions. See "Instructions & Examples" on the

right for details on required formatting for test questions.
