Showing and Hiding Course Content

Avenue courses are distributed with sections visible. However, all activities within those sections are hidden. Before using the courseware with learners, instructors need to make the course content visible. Instructors may also want to hide the sections  that they are not using.

1. At the top of the course homepage, click on the Edit mode toggle button in the upper right corner of the screen to activate the editing tools.

Note: The toggle moves to the right, indicating that course editing is now on.

Note: The sections expand, and all activities appear on the course homepage with editing icons visible. Hidden activities and labels are accompanied by highlighted text that reads Hidden from students. They appear as shown below.

2. To access the Hide and Show features, an instructor must click on Edit beside the activity or resource.

Note: A sub-menu with three options appears:

• Show on course page.
• Hide on course page.
• Make available but don't show on course page.

4. Click on Show on course page. 

Note: The Hidden from students notification disappears.
