6.49. Availability, Visibility, and Access Options

Availability, Visibility, And Access Options

The Availability Start and End Dates will each have a set of three options. You will be able to select one option for each date. By choosing an option, you are deciding whether learners can see the assignment and access it. The options are:

1. Visible with access-restricted (before start/after end)
• The assignment will be visible to learners before the Start Date or after the End Date, but they cannot click or open it.
• This behavior is consistent with how Classic Content, Assignments, and User Progress treat assignments outside of availability dates currently.
• With this setting, learners can see the name, dates, and restrictions. Learners cannot see the assignment description or attachments.
2. Visible with submission-restricted (before start/after end)
• The assignment will be visible to learners before the Start Date or after the End Date and they can click or open it, but they cannot submit or mark it as complete.
• With this setting, learners can see all details about the assignment including description, attachments, and rubrics, but they cannot upload files, enter comments, or mark the assignment as complete (for observed in person/on paper submission).
3. Hidden (before start/after end)
• The assignment is hidden to learners until the start date is reached or after the end date passes.
• Learners will not see the assignment anywhere across Brightspace, including corresponding Calendar events and Notifications.
