Is there a way to hide a module until the start date?

Heather.J.984 · October 1

I would like to have sub-modules hidden until the start date/time and automatically made visible to students at the start date/time.

Currently, the module is visible to them but they cannot click the links to their homework until the start date/time. This tends to create confusion or questions, so I would like modules to just be hidden.

I know that the course admin settings allow you to keep Assignments and Quizzes, specifically within Brightspace, hidden until the start date. However, much of my students' homework is supplemental material from the eBook, not Brightspace assignments. I like to organize these in modules by month and sub-modules by due date.

If this is not currently possible, I would like to give feedback to the developers that this feature would be incredibly helpful and likely not difficult to implement.

Hi @Heather.J.984,

Thank you for reaching out in the Brightspace Community.

The functionality you are looking to implement is already available in the "New content experience". The current behaviour you are describing suggests that you are using the classic content experience.

You will need to reach out to your administrators about switching to the new content experience, which supports users' inability to view content items that have not started yet.

You can find more information about this in the link below:

Please keep us posted if this resource was helpful in completing your intended workflow.

Kind regards,

Roqeeb
