Hidden Quiz and Modules

[UrsulaFlinspach]

Somehow quizzes and modules are hidden. course is published but student cannot see quiz and module options. How to 'un-hide' both? thanks

Good evening, @UrsulaFlinspach ...

Do your "Quizzes" and "Modules" course navigation buttons have a crossed-out eye icon next to them?  If so, then you need to re-enable those buttons in your course if you want to make them visible to your students.

How do I manage Course Navigation links?

If both of those course navigation buttons do not have the crossed-out eye icon next to them, then they should be visible to your students...assuming that you have published modules and published quizzes in those two areas of your course:

• How do I publish or unpublish a module as an instructor?
• How do I publish or unpublish a quiz as an instructor?

Please keep Community members posted if you have further questions about this process...thank you!

Are you setting up a new course? Imagine your Canvas course is like a house. Publishing the course just opens the front door. In this analogy, the modules are rooms. If the modules are "unpublished," then the doors to the rooms are closed. You need to "publish" the module to open the door.

I put all of the content of my courses into my modules, I don't have assignments, quizzes, discussions, pages, or files show up on the students' course navigation bar. So, now, once the module is published, you need to make sure that the items inside the module are also published. In our analogy, publishing the items is akin to opening up a closet door or a dresser.

One mistake that instructors commonly make is to the publish the quiz or assignment, but not the module containing it. That would be akin to opening up a dresser drawer inside a closed bedroom. You've got to publish the module first.

This is the Canvas Community website.  We can help answer questions about the Canvas LMS (Learning Management System).  Drupal is a CMS (Content Management System) that is different than Canvas.

Is there a question about Canvas related to hidden quizzes and modules that we can help answer for you here in the Community?  Please let us know...thanks!
