Did you know Moodle 2.0 has a new setting for activities called Restrict Access? Restrict access enables instructors to choose variables that control when an activity is available and when it will become unavailable to students.
This differs from, and should not be confused with, timing settings with which you are already familiar. The timing settings disable a student's ability to complete an activity. For example, enabling opening and closing dates could prevent students from uploading a file past the due date, or from starting a quiz attempt. In contrast, Restrict Access closes the eye on the activity until the variable conditions you set have been met, such as a time, completion, achieving a passing grade in a previously completed activity, or entering a code. Restrict Access is a great tool for assignments requiring mastery prior to proceeding to the next level.
Warning! Setting restrict access for an activity will also have an effect in your gradebook. The activity's eye will be closed there as well. This may have an effect on how your grades are totaled. Contact the IT Department for assistance if you are interested in using this feature.
