This tutorial is designed for faculty who have previous experience using the Content tool in D2L and will cover the steps involved when you wish to hide modules and topics from students using the Hidden/Visible function.. For further information, please contact desupport@camosun.ca for assistance.

Steps

1. Go to the Content tool in your course. Then, in the Table of Contents box, click on the title of the Module you want to work with.
2. If you want to hide the entire Module, first, click the open eye icon (at the top-right of the Module page).

   

3. Then, click the checkmark to change the status of the Module from Visible to Hidden. This will hide all Topics in the Module until you make the Module Visible again.

   
   

4. If you would like to hide only one Topic, click on the down arrow next to the Topic title and select Edit Properties in Place.

   

5. Click the open eye icon (at the top-right of the Topic title) and, as for hiding a Module, click the checkmark to change the status of the Topic to Hidden. This will hide this one Topic from students until you make the Topic Visible again.

   

6. 
7. If you want to hide multiple Topics in a Module (but not all of them), click Bulk Edit on your Module page.

   

8. Click the open eye icon (at the top-right of the Topic title) and click the checkmark to change the status of all the Topics you want to hide to Hidden, then click Done Editing.

   

Things to Remember

If you set Topics or Modules to Hidden, you will need to remember to go back and make them Visible them for your students to see them. You can also keep a Module or Topic Visible and use the Add dates and restrictions function to automate their release to students.

This tutorial is designed for faculty who have previous experience using the Grades tool in D2L and will cover the steps involved when you wish to release your Final Grades to your students. For further information, please contact desupport@camosun.ca for assistance.

Steps

1. Go to the Grades tool in your course, and make sure you are in the Enter Grades.
2. Click on the down arrow next to the Final Grade (Calculated or Adjusted) and select Enter Grades.
3. First, you want to transfer all the Final Calculated Grades into the Final Adjusted Grade column. To do this, click on the down arrow next to the title Final Grades, and select Transfer All.
4. Click Yes in the Confirmation pop-up box to continue.
5. Your Final Calculated Grades will be transferred into the Final Adjusted Grade column. To then release the Final Grades, move on to Step 6 below. If you do NOT want to release the grades at this time, click Save and Close. The final grades will be saved, but NOT released to students.
6. To release your Final Grades, click on the select box at the top of the student grade table to select all students.
7. Click Release/Unrelease. You will then see checkmarks in the Release Final Adjusted Grade column. Click Save and Close. Click Yes in the pop-up box that appears.
8. You will then see the Final Adjusted Grades in the Enter Grades table, with open eye icons, indicating that those grades are now released to your students.

Things to Remember

As alluded to in Step 5, if you are not finalizing the grades for all your students at one time, you can set and save your Final Adjusted Grades without releasing them, and then release them once you have finalized all your students’ grades.

In addition, make sure your Final Calculated Grade is set to the Camosun Standard Grading Scheme:

1. Edit your Final Calculated Grade.
2. In the Grade Scheme drop-down menu, select Camosun Standard Grading Scheme, and click Save and Close.
