New Process for Making Moodle Course Visible to Students

A new semester would not be complete without a few new changes and features to Moodle.  Most important of these is the process to make your course available to students has slightly changed.  You still need to go to "Edit Settings" in the course administration block, but the course available option has moved and been renamed to Visibility.   See the linked PDF for directions.

Another minor change you will find is that your resource and activities settings no longer appear as a long scrolling page.  Instead these settings have been collapsed into links.   Click the title of the settings to see those options for the activity or resource.    View the video below to see how the new feature works.

One new feature that is now available is in the Assignment Activity.  Teachers can now allow individual students to resubmit an assignment before the due date.  To do this, when creating a new assignment activity (or edit your existing assignments) in the submission settings section, set "Attempts reopened" setting to "Manually".
