How do I adjust Content availability?

Updated on

In this article you will learn how to adjust Content availability.

Start and end dates specify when students can access a topic or module. 

If you set a start, end, or due date for a topic or module, it will appear in the Upcoming Events and the Agenda view in the Calendar Tool

Note: Setting an end date later than the due date enables learners to still access and complete the topic. 

Second note: The due date has priority in the Calendar Tool.

There may be material(s) that you want to make available automatically from a certain date onward, or for a period between two dates. To do so, follow these steps:


  1. Access your Course Admin(istration) via the navigation bar of your course.

2. Under Site Resources, click on Manage Dates.

3. Apply a Filter to have only Course Content visible in the Manage Dates table.  

4. To edit the availability of only 1 content item, simply click the drop-down menu by the content item and then click Edit Dates. To change the availability of multiple content items at once, select the items by clicking on the check boxes on the left then click on Bulk Edit, at the top of the table.

5. Select and set the Due Date or Availability dates for the Content

6. Save the newly set Dates.
