What's the difference between closing a class and setting the course offline?


 

Offline

If a course is set to offline, nobody except the course admins can access it. This means previously enrolled learners can no longer access the course.

 

Closed for enrolment

If a class is closed for enrolment (but is online), previously enrolled learners can still access and complete the course, but no new learners can enrol from the landing page.

 

Ended

If a class is ended, learners enrolled in this class will no longer be able to access the course. However, learners in other classes that have not ended can still access the course.

 


Go to Course Setup > General

Toggle from Offline to Online

Go to Course Setup > Classes

Select the class you wish to close.

Go to Administer learners > Timeline for this class and set the relevant class access times.
