DL Tip of the Week - Managing the Course List and Making Your Course Unavailable

This week's DL Tip of the Week is about Managing Your Course List and Making Your Course Unavailable. Another step at the end of the semester is to clean up your course list and make your course unavailable.

It is good habit to make courses that have ended unavailable. This will keep students from accessing and completing additional work after you have submitted grades. However, if you have incomplete students, you would not want to make the course unavailable. If you want to disable users, please refer to a prior blog about disabling users. 

Additionally, each semester your courses keep getting added to your course list. There is a way to manage your course list and hide old courses that are not active (and include no incomplete students). This can be accomplished through the Manage Your Course Settings on the portal page in Blackboard.
