What additional course privileges may I grant to my students?

In Course Navigation, click the Settings link.

Click the Course Details tab.

You can view any visibility settings for your course. Each visibility option is independent of the others. You can customize course visibility, customize content visibility, and include the course in the public course index.

You may also be able to change student access settings to allow or restrict students from viewing your course before the start or end date.

You can set the format for your course in the Format menu [1]. This setting specifies the intended format of the course. To change the course format, click the format drop-down menu.

You can also allow users to download your course for offline viewing using one of two options.

• If ePub Exporting is enabled in your course, you can view the ePub Export check box [2] and change the ePub format.
• If your course displays an Offline Course check box [3], your institution has enabled course content to be viewed offline as an HTML file. By default, this check box will be selected. However, you can manage offline course access by deselecting the check box at any time.

You can change more options in your course by clicking the More Options link [1].

You can grant additional course privileges for students by selecting the appropriate checkbox [2]:

* These options can also be selected from the feature's index page.
