Opening a Module to Students

Ahead of the start of each academic year, Blackboard modules are created from the curriculum in OneUni, and by default these module sites are set to be locked or private to students, allowing the module team time to construct the module content and assessment submission points prior to student access.

Any instructor on the module can unlock the module for students to begin accessing the content by following the steps below.

1. Firstly, access the My BB Sites tab of Blackboard, and locate the module you wish to open.
2. Secondly, hover your mouse over the module card and select the more options menu (the ellipsis icon).
3. Option 1: From the menu that appears, select Course Settings.

3. Option 2: Alternatively, from within your module, click on the Course Settings option in the top-right-hand corner of the site page.

4. Next, locate the Course Status heading, you will find an option to either Open or Close the course. If you are ready for your students to begin accessing the module and the learning materials you have created, select the Open – based on course duration option.

5. Your module is now open to students, you can return to the module content page, or close Blackboard if you have finished.
