Setting Restrict Access to a Course Activity or Resource
If completion tracking (see the Setting Up and Using Completion Tracking article) is enabled in the course settings, instructors can use this option to restrict access to resources or activities.
1. On the course, click the Edit mode button in the upper right hand corner of the site page.
The toggle will be switched to the right side when editing is enabled.
2. Locate and click the Edit link next to the activity or resource to which the access restriction should be applied.
3. Click on the Edit settings link in the drop-down menu.
4. The Edit Settings page appears, scroll down and click on the Restrict access link.
5. Click on the Add restriction button.
There are eight restriction options. Which of these are available depends on other settings and features used in your course. The possible restriction options are:
Activity completion restriction lets you restrict access to graded and non-graded items based on whether learners have completed specific activities. You can apply more than one condition by clicking the Add restriction button to add another restriction.
Note: Completion tracking must be enabled and at least one activity must have this featured applied to it for this restriction to be available.
Date restriction restricts access to an activity or resource either until a specified date/time or from a specified date/time
Grade restriction lets you require learners to achieve a minimum grade in an activity before the item becomes available to them.
Group restriction restricts access so that the activity or resource is available only to students in one or more specified groups.
Note: Groups must be in use in your course for this option to be available.
The Mobile app restriction controls whether students can access the activity via the mobile app.
Note: The Avenue mobile app is not available at the moment, therefore this restriction does not apply.
The Password restriction allows teachers to require a password for students attempting the activity.
User profile allows the selection of a required field in the personal profile, e.g., a specific LINC level, which may be useful when teaching a multi-level class.
Restriction set allows for multiple nested restrictions to be applied.
6. To restrict access until another activity is completed, click on the Activity completion button.
7. Choose the required course activity to be completed from the drop-down list of available activities.
8. Choose the restriction from the drop-down list of completion options.
9. Click on the eye icon to show or hide the activity from students.
Note: When set to hidden the activity will not be visible to student who do not meet the restriction criteria.
10. Click either Save and return to course or Save and display buttons.
On the course home page, the activity is displayed with the restriction message underneath:
