Course tools, such as Quizzes, Content, Discussions, Chat, Grades, and so on, are course components that you add to your course offering to share learning content, foster interaction, and evaluate performance. You can enable and disable course tools to specifically tailor your course to your pedagogy and course materials.
Before enabling a tool, be aware of the following:
- Some activated tools can only be accessed from the navbar or home page widgets.
Before disabling a tool, be aware of the following:
- Release conditions based on the tool are not enforced as long as the tool remains disabled.
- Competency activities associated with the tool are hidden, but are still associated with any learning objectives to which they are attached. Users cannot complete these learning objectives while the tool is disabled. You should detach or delete any activities associated with a tool before disabling the tool.
- Grade items associated with the tool remain, but you must manually update them in the grade book.
- Quicklinks to the tool’s items persist but a “No Resource Found” message displays when they are followed. You should remove any related quicklinks when you deactivate a tool.
- Deactivating a tool does not delete any items or user data inside the tool; it simply hides the tool from your course offering.
