Reusing an published class?

[rcitrano]

If a course which is now unpublished becomes live again, does anyone see it or do you have to provide them with a hyperlink to remind the to visit?

@rcitrano -

If the course is published and you want people to get back into it, the availability dates in the setting have to be adjusted so that it now an active course.  Once the availability date is valid anybody on the people list will see the course in their all courses list (and possibly on their dashboard - if the course is still starred to show there)

Hello @rcitrano 

To follow up with @Ron_Bowman said - yes, you can publish it again and you can use the course settings/dates to restrict students. Some schools will remove the students from the people tab completely, some will conclude their enrollments but they're still there, and then you can also look at sections access dates. If the goal is to get a student to complete old work, check the course settings and restriction options beneath the dates. Also, you can check their dates if the school uses a SIS for the section they may be restricted that way. Presuming the course ended, students can click  on courses - all courses and view in their past enrollments. Hopefully this helps!
