Q: How to manage course contents?


To manage the course contents, you will first need to make the course page editable. To do so, you can open the course page, and then either:

  • Click the “Turn editing on” button on the right-hand side of the navigation bar; or
  • Click the “Turn editing on” link under “Course administration” in the Administration block

Click “Edit” on the right of each resource item to reveal the editing menu:

Icons for editing resources

Move resources
Drag this icon to reorder the item or move the item to different section

Edit title
Shortcut to quickly rename the item without opening the edit page

Update
Open the corresponding edit page of the item

Move right / Move left
Add or remove indentation for the item to provide a more structural view

Hide
Toggle the switch to make the item invisible to students.

Duplicate
Make a copy of the item

Delete
Remove the item from the course page. Beware that associated files may also be removed (for example, deleting an assignment will also remove all submitted files).

 

There are also editing icons on each section:
