Instructors may encounter instances when students are unable to access course activities, such as homework assignments, quizzes, or discussion posts. This issue occurs when an activity is hidden, either due to a release condition or through its settings.
This instructional guide applies to courses without release conditions. If release conditions are present, ensure that students can meet the conditions.
- Click Content from the course navbar and then the settings of the activity itself. Discussions require an additional verification step.
- If an activity is visible, verify the activity’s availability status to ensure it has not expired.
- For discussion posts that students report as invisible, complete the previous verification steps, then click Discussions from the navbar and navigate to the specific discussion.
- Even when content and discussion settings are set as visible, the discussion may remain hidden. To resolve this, select the drop-down arrow to the right of the discussion name and choose Edit Forum.
- Within the “Edit Forum” settings, click the Restrictions tab.
- Locate the Hide From Users checkbox. Ensure this option is unchecked, then save and close the settings.
- After completing these steps, the forum transitions from hidden to visible.
