Changing Unit Settings
Teachers with Editing Teacher privileges in a unit are able to make changes to settings such as unit visibility, indicative start and end dates, unit format and appearance.
Finding unit settings
Click ‘Settings’ from the unit navigation menu at the top of the unit:
General Settings
The General settings allow you to change the name of the unit, show or hide its visibility to students and set the start and end dates for the unit.
Unit full name, Unit short name and Unit ID number
Caution
Do not change the Unit full name, unit short name or Unit ID number. If there is an issue, let your college ARKLO know.Unit visibility
The unit visibility setting determines if a unit will display in the list of units available to a student. It does not affect users with Teacher, Editing Teacher or admin privileges such as ARKLOs, Registrars or Academic Deans. If a meta unit visibility is set to Show, the unit will be visible to students from when the student’s enrolment is processed by the Registrar. To prevent students from viewing content in the meta unit while you are preparing for the semester, set the visibility to Hide but don’t forget to toggle it back 7 days before the scheduled commencement date for the unit.
Unit start date and end date
The Start date and End date for a unit do not change whether a student can access a unit. However, the view settings in the Unit Overview block can be set to filter units based on these dates.
- Set the Start date to at least 7 days prior to the scheduled start date of the unit. (For example, if the unit starts on 26 February, set the start date to 19 February or before).
- Set the End date to 6 weeks after the end of the teaching period to allow for any possible extensions and for students to review content.
