Chances are this is a simple case of the module being hidden from student view. To check if this is the case, go into the module in question and do the following:

1.  Go to Settings > Edit Settings

  2.  Scroll down the screen until you reach the box marked 'Availability'.  This setting determines whether the module appears in the list of modules for students.
