Enabling / Disabling Area Links in Your Course

If you do not plan to use all the navigation links listed in your online course (i.e. Assignments, Groups, Web Sites, etc.), it is recommended that you disable, but not remove, these links so that students have fewer areas to search. To enable or disable a link, please do the following:

1. Enter the Control Panel.
   
2. Under Course Options, click Manage Course Menu.
   
3. Locate the area you wish to enable/disable and click the Modify button to the right.
   *Please note: Do Not Remove Links. Doing so may create problems in your course.
   
4. To disable an area, remove the check from the box “Make available for Student/Participant users”. To enable a link, replace the check in the same box.
   
   
   
   
5. Click the Submit button at the lower right of the page.
   
6. Repeat steps 3-5 for each area link you want to enable or disable.

Note: In order to see the changes you have made, return to the Course Announcements page and click the Refresh link on the navigation menu.
