Why might an Instructor want to Edit their Course Availability Dates?
Sometimes faculty like to make their Course Sites available to students the week or weekend prior to the start of instruction.
An instructor might need to make edits to the course after the class has ended, an example of this is making a course available to a student Completing an Incomplete or for altering Grades.
Any other reason the instructor sees fit.
Creating your Canvas Course in Middleware:
Course Availability Dates are first set when an instructor Requests their Canvas Course Site from Middleware.
Unavailable | The course will receive no availability dates, and will be created automatically set as Unavailable to users. The instructor will manually need to make the course available to students.
|
Available to Students | The course will receive no availability dates, and will be created automatically set as Available to users. The instructor will manually need to make the course unavailable to students if no end-dates are applied to the Canvas course.
|
Start of Term | The course date will be set to automatically become available on the first day of the semester and unavailable 1 week after the semester ends. The instructor does not need to do anything to make the course available other than be aware of when these date’s occur in case students have questions.
|
Start of Session | The course date will be set to automatically become available on the first day of the session and unavailable 1 week after the session ends. The instructor does not need to do anything to make the course available other than be aware of when these date’s occur in case students have questions.
|
